Convincing a probate court that a document is truly the deceased person's will. Usually this is a simple formality that the executor or administrator easily satisfies by showing that the will was signed and dated by the deceased person in front of two or more witnesses. When the will is holographic -- that is, completely handwritten by the deceased and not witnessed, it is still valid in many states if the executor can produce relatives and friends to testify that the handwriting is that of the deceased.

HOLOGRAPHIC WILL

A child or spouse who is not mentioned in a will and whom the court believes was accidentally overlooked by the person who made the will.

A pretermitted heir is sometimes called an 'omitted heir.'
