Judge admits will, waives appraisers and appoints executors in Peacock estate
Summary
The court probated the will of the late Billy Leon Peacock, admitted the 2019 self-proved will, and the court heard testimony from a niece and a great-nephew before asking the court to appoint co-independent executors and waive appraisers.
The Chambers County Probate Court admitted the last will and testament of Billy Leon Peacock (dated Feb. 18, 2019) and heard testimony from relatives seeking appointment as co-independent executors.
Laura Lee Morton, identified as the decedent’s niece, testified that the will was self-proved and had not been revoked; she asked the court to appoint herself and Billy Adam Peacock as co-independent executors and to waive appraisals. Billy Adam Peacock confirmed the testimony and his relationship as great-nephew. Counsel asked the court to dispense with appraisers given the estate’s character and to issue letters of administration.
The judge noted the testimony on the record and instructed the clerk to proceed with probate and issuance of letters. There were no objections recorded on the transcript and the court concluded the matter.
