(Whether or not William Estes is appointed as Executor is dependent on whether the Court finds the 2018 Will is valid and/or whether the Court finds the 2004 Will was revoked. William Estes is an Interested Person until the Court finds that he is not. COURT FURTHER ORDERED: Status hearing scheduled on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. |
