An unattested alteration made after the will is executed is invalid and may also invalidate any existing part of the will that the alteration obliterated or made impossible to decipher.

(See '''Section III.F: Court’s Power to Cure Deficiencies and Rectify Wills''', above, which also discusses the power of rectification under section 59). | An unattested alteration made after the will is executed is invalid and may also invalidate any existing part of the will that the alteration obliterated or made impossible to decipher.
