George R. Redder, Esq. (Redder, Bock & Associates, PLLC), attorney for Lauren Ashley Samaritan, proponent/petitioner Raymond P. Raiche, Esq. (The Raiche Law Firm), attorney for Daniel Esposito, distributee/objectant

ESTATE OF CASSANDRA SAMARITAN, Deceased (22-674/A) — Lauren Ashley Samaritan (“proponent”) has offered for probate a hand-written document as the last will and testament of her mother, Cassandra Samaritan (“decedent”). The document disposes only of decedent’s real estate and her “belongings,” which are specifically bequeathed to proponent. There is no residuary clause, nor is an executor nominated. Daniel Esposito (“objectant”), decedent’s son, is not a beneficiary under the instrument offered for probate. He objects to its probate and has filed a motion for summary judgment. In opposition, proponent has filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. In support of their respective motions, the parties offer their own affidavits and the Article 14 testimony of the attesting witnesses. Objectant also offered a billing summary of procedures and medications administered to decedent during her hospitalization. SUMMARY JUDGMENT.
