SUMMARY

Photocopies of a testator's handwritten property dispositions, included in a holographic or handwritten will, satisfy the statutory requirement that the material provisions be "in the handwriting of the testator." Extrinsic evidence that the testator intended the handwritten instrument to be his will was properly admitted, and confirmed the validity of the instrument as a holographic will.
