Saunders v. Samarreg Co.
Saunders v. Samarreg Co.
Opinion of the Court
The court below found on competent evidence that the words appointing executors were not on the will at the time it was executed by the testatrix, but were added at a later date. Disregarding these words therefore we have a will in due form
The words added in the present case do not indicate any intention to revoke the will but rather to make a codicil supplementary to its provisions. But the intent whatever it was being incomplete for want of the testatrix’s signature, is not operative for either purpose.
Decree affirmed.

- Wills — Execution—Signature—Additional clause. Where a testatrix signs and executes her will at the end thereof and on a subsequent day adds an additional clause appointing an executor, but does not sign such clause, the added clause will be disregarded as inoperative either to revoke the will or to appoint an executor, and testatrix will be deemed to have signed her will at the end thereof.
