Q. A executed a holographic will disinheriting his children B but did not institute C and D. Is there a need for the will to be probated? (Solved)

1. No more, because it would be an exercise in futility as no one will inherit on the basis of the will;

2. Yes, because without the will being admitted to probate the disinheritance shall be ineffective;

3. Yes, because a will shall not pass any right to the heirs unless it is admitted to probate;
