Docket entry

002420 Kidd v. Gunter 09/14/2001 The trial court correctly held that even though a decedent clearly had testamentary intent in creating a journal, she did not make it manifest that her name on the inside cover was intended as a signature to the writing. The journal therefore did not satisfy the requirements for a holographic will. The judgment is affirmed.
