The court may grant the probate and consider it a holographic will because a holographic will, which is written, dated, and signed in the handwriting of the testator, does not require witnesses or notarization to be valid. This option allows for the possibility that the will's validity could be upheld based on its holographic nature, despite issues with the witnessing process.
