    There is a strong presumption against intestacy when the party has executed a will. Carr v. Rogers, 383 S.W.2d 383, 384 (Tex. 1964); Hinzie v. Hinzie, 45 Tex. Civ. App. 297 [ 45 Tex. Civ. App. 297], 100 S.W. 803, 804 (1907, no writ). However strong such presumption might be, it does not authorize the court to make a new will. Farah, 624 S.W.2d at 347.

  2. Woods v. Wedgeworth

    453 S.W.2d 385 (Tex. Civ. App. 1970)   Cited 4 times

    This can be overcome only when an intention to allow a part of the estate to pass by intestate succession is plain and unambiguous. Hinzie v. Hinzie, 45 Tex. Civ. App. 297, 100 S.W. 803 (1907). Having given the language of the will a fair, practical and reasonable interpretation, the appellants" only point is overruled.
