14-3410. Formal testacy proceedings; probate
of more than one instrument
If two or more instruments are offered for probate before a final order is entered
in a formal testacy proceeding, more than one instrument may be probated if neither
expressly revokes the other or contains provisions which work a total revocation by
implication. If more than one instrument is probated, the order shall indicate what
provisions control in respect to the nomination of an executor, if any. The order may,
but need not, indicate how any provisions of a particular instrument are affected by the
other instrument. After a final order in a testacy proceeding has been entered, no
petition for probate of any other instrument of the decedent may be entertained, except
incident to a petition to vacate or modify a previous probate order and subject to the
time limits of section 14-3412.
