Affirmed. See Raimi v. Furlong, 702 So. 2d 1273, 1286 (Fla. 3d DCA
1997) (“It has long been emphasized that the right to dispose of one’s
property by will is highly valuable and it is the policy of the law to hold a last
will and testament good wherever possible.”); In re Shifflet’s Estate, 170 So.
2d 96, 98 (Fla. 3d DCA 1964) (“[T]he will in its original form was validly
executed and [was] entitled to probate[.]”); Taft v. Zack, 830 So. 2d 881, 883
(Fla. 2d DCA 2002) (“The will, as originally written, was [valid and] entitled to
be admitted to probate.”); Heasley v. Evans, 104 So. 2d 854, 857 (Fla. 2d
DCA 1958) (“An appellate court will not disturb the findings of fact and
conclusions of law of a probate court in a will contest unless there is a lack
of substantial competent evidence to support the findings or unless it is
clearly manifested that the trial judge misapprehended the legal effect of the
evidence in its entirety. . . . Accordingly, the order admitting the will to probate
is hereby affirmed.”).
