Mary Teresa Duncan appeals from the order of the trial court granting summary judgment to her aunts, Etta Sue Moreland and Wilma E. Wilson, and dismissing her challenge to the probate court’s order admitting her grandmother’s will to probate in solemn form. Upon our review and for the reasons that follow, we affirm.

On May 27, 2008, Moreland and Wilson, two of the decedent’s three daughters, filed a petition to probate their mother’s will. The will appointed Moreland, Wilson, and their sister, Evelyn Duncan, as co-executors. Duncan was served with a copy of the petition and will by certified mail. On September 16, 2009, Evelyn Duncan’s daughter, Teresa, filed a caveat to the will alleging that she and her mother possessed a later-dated valid will, that the decedent had been under undue influence and lacked the mental capacity to execute the will propounded by Moreland and Wilson, that Evelyn Duncan should be appointed executor of the decedent’s estate, and that the petition to probate the will should be denied.
