In re Lewis

When decedent Robyn R. Lewis died in 2010, a will was admitted to probate that was executed by Decedent in Texas in 1996. Objections to probate were filed by various members of Decedent’s family. The Surrogate dismissed the objections to the 1996 will and admitted it to probate. The Appellate Division affirmed the Surrogate’s decision and decree. The Court of Appeals modified the orders of the Appellate Division by remitting to Surrogate’s Court for further proceedings, holding that crucial issues remained sufficient to raise the presumption that Decedent revoked her 1996 will.
