Opinion by Judge DAVIDSON.

In this will contest, Waynetta Neal, daughter of decedent, Clarence Royal, appeals from the summary judgment denying probate of decedent's purported will. In entering that judgment, the trial court ruled that because the instrument did not bear signatures of attesting witnesses and was not a holographic will, it was not duly executed in accordance with § 15-11-502, C.R.S. (1987 Repl.Vol. 6B). We affirm, but on different grounds.
