Description
1 On May 22, 1964, Andrew Jackson Hamel executed an instrument designating it his last will and testament. He had no wife or children, his wife having predeceased him more than a year before. His nearest relatives were brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. Two of his nephews lived in Tulsa, where he also had resided for a number of years. One of the nephews, Houston Hubbell, was made the sole devisee of the residue of Mr. Hamels property by the terms of said will. One of the provisions of the will was a bequest of $20,000.00 to Mr. Hamels attorney who prepared the will. Houston Hubbell and David First were designated in the will to serve as co-executors. Two sisters contested the admission of the will to probate when its was offered. The grounds of their objections were that the testator lacked testamentary capacity at the time of the execution of the will, and in the alternative if the will not be denied probate on that ground that the residual provision in favor of Houston Hubbell was invalid because it resulted from undue influence exerted over the testator by his said nephew. The contestants further objected to the provision for the testators attorney upon the ground that it resulted from undue influence on the part of the attorney-legatee.
