YOU HAVE MISSED POINT. THE RULE WORKS BOTH WAYS. CHANGE IN STYLE ONLY INDICATES ENTIRE CONTENTS OF WILL NOT WRITTEN BY SAME PERSON. IF SECOND PAGE OF WILL IS GENUINE THEN SOMEONE HAS SUBSTITUTED FRAUDULENT FIRST PAGE. AMOUNT OF CHRISTOPHER MILBERS’S BEQUEST IS QUITE PROBABLY CHANGED. TWO POSSIBILITIES TO CONSIDER. ONE IS THAT MILBERS HIMSELF, BEING CUT OFF WITH ONE DOLLAR, FORGED FIRST PAGE TO MAKE LEGACY TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. SECOND ALTERNATIVE IS THAT CHRISTOPHER MILBERS MIGHT HAVE BEEN LEFT MUCH GREATER AMOUNT THAN TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ON FIRST PAGE, THEREFORE SUBSTITUTION MADE BY ONE OF RESIDUARY LEGATEES. IF SECOND PAGE OF WILL IS GENUINE THEN FIRST PAGE WAS FORGED BY SOME PERSON WITH READY GIFT OF EXPRESSION AND FACILE LITERARY STYLE. YOUR DESCRIPTION CHRISTOPHER MILBERS FITS THIS TYPE. HAVE YOU INVESTIGATED CAUSE OF DEATH HARLOW MILBERS? ASK PERSONS IN ATTENDANCE TO DESCRIBE SYMPTOMS. BEST WISHES FOR YOUR SUCCESS IN SOLVING CASE. DONALD LAM.
