Dаn аnd Sаrah were lawfully husband and wife. Dan and Sarah had twо children: Alex and Brenda. Dan and Sarah hired Attоrney Xavier tо draft wills for both of them in case something happened. Attorney Xavier handwrote reciprocal wills for both Dan and Sarah. The handwritten wills provided that in the event that one spouse died, the surviving spouse would receive all the property of the deceased spouse. Dan and Sarah signed and dated their respective wills. Attorney Xavier asked his legal assistant, Nancy, who was also a California-commissioned notary, to notarize the wills. Dan and Tabitha acknowledged their signatures before Nancy and then properly notarized their respective wills by attaching a certificate of acknowledgment. Unfortunately, three years later, Dan unexpectedly passed away. Dan’s will was submitted to probate. It was stipulated that Dan’s entire estate consisted of: (1) Separate property worth $60,000; and (2) Community property – Dan’s half worth $300,000. It was also stipulated that Dan resided in California his entire life and also had full mental capacity throughout his entire life. Is Dan’s will valid? Discuss fully. Regardless of how you answered question one, what are Sarah, Alex, and Brenda’s rights in Dan’s estate if the will is found invalid? Discuss fully. Answer according to California Law only.
