On June 15, 1982, Shirley Joyce Speers signed a "Last Will and Testament." It named her husband, Ralph Speers, as her executor. It also gave her daughter, Sherry Arlene Ross, her household furnishings and appliances, and her son, Daniel Eugene Speers, her livestock. Her husband was named the beneficiary of the rest of the estate, provided he paid the estate's expenses. If he failed to do so, his share went to their children and grandsons. The will was witnessed and signed, but not notarized. The witnesses did not see any lines or strikeouts in the will when they signed it. Shirley died on April 20, 1997, and the will was found with strike-outs that eliminated the gifts to her husband. Which of the following occurs as a result?
A) The will is admitted to probate as it was originally executed.
B) The will is admitted to probate with all the terms except those that are crossed out.
C) The will cannot be admitted to probate.
D) The will can be challenged, and the estate may be intestate.
