Holographic Codicil

 Today, the Mississippi Court of Appeals handed down In re Estate of Obert located here.  This is the first case I am aware of discussing holographic codicils to a will.    The Court found that a handwritten note signed by the deceased acted as a cancellation of a debt that was due.   As such, might be worth have clients search the deceased home at times.
