THIBODEAUX, Chief Judge.

Samuel Wiggins, the only surviving son of the deceased, Mr. Jerrell D. Wiggins (Mr. Wiggins), appeals the trial court judgment upholding the validity of Mr. Wiggins's will after a trial on the merits was held to determine whether Mr. Wiggins possessed testamentary capacity at the time he executed his will. Samuel contends that the trial judge committed manifest error in upholding the will because his father was unable to read and write.
