Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the handwritten will of 12 November 1996 is void for lack of testamentary capacity.
Decisione estratta
The testatrix was probably suffering from senile dementia in late 1996 and was generally incapable of judgment for testation; the will is invalid.
Motivazione estratta
The cantonal findings showed sustained cognitive impairment, memory loss, delusions and a real loss of reality. The presumption of capacity was rebutted, and no lucid interval was proven.
