The following statements and the information contained herein, including my answers to named questions below, are based upon my personal knowledge and are true and correct. QUESTION 1 - Did the decedent leave a will? ANSWER: YES / NO QUESTION 2 - If the decedent left a will, has the will been admitted to probate? ANSWER: YES / NO / NA. If YES, at what place, and when? ANSWER
: question 3 - if decedent did not have a will, what is the probative value of the will? Answers: 1. The will, in a most perfect and adequate manner, discloses the whole truth with respect to each element of interest in the decedent's estate; except that when a will is presented to probate it must be shown to contain a specification of the terms of a marriage solemnized in this state or the decedent's residence at the time of death. 2. The decedent's will is in probate. 3. The deceased was unmarried. 4. The death and the will are a perfect representation of the decedent's entire estate. 5. A) where the will is in probate, and there have been no proceedings by the decedent for a will, the provisions of section 8 of the act of congress of July 20, 1898, entitled "an act to enable the probate court in any district to exercise its personal jurisdiction” do not apply for the purpose of determining whether the will is genuine and valid, and if so whether it is probateable. For the purpose of determining whether it is genuine, a guardian, conservator, guardian ad item, executor, administrator, or any other authority who claims the estate is also entitled to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in a district where the probate court exercises its own personal jurisdiction for the exercise of probate powers. B) if the will is not in probate, the provisions of sections 5 and 6 of the act of congress of july 20, 1898, entitled “an act to enable the probate court in any district to exercise its personal jurisdiction” apply to determine if the will is genuine and valid. 6. The decedent was an unmarried adult citizen who at his death left no issue, and no will.

Question 6 — if the will is in probate and the next person in line to administer the estate is not the person whom the will would have named as the successor beneficiary,
