(C) remember and understand the individual's relations to living descendants, spouse, and parents, and those whose interests are affected by the will.

(2) The individual suffers from a mental disorder with symptoms including delusions or hallucinations, which delusions or hallucinations result in the individual's devising property in a way which, except for the existence of the delusions or hallucinations, the individual would not have done. see California Probate Code Section 6100.5.

Property to Pass by Will: A will may dispose of the following property:
(a) The testator's separate property.
(b) The one-half of the community property that belongs to the testator under Section 100.
(c) The one-half of the testator's quasi-community property that belongs to the testator under Section 101.

Who may receive property: A will may make a disposition of property to any person, including but not limited to any of the following:
(a) An individual;
(b) a corporation;

(e) any state, including this state;
(f) the United States or any instrumentality thereof; or
(g) a foreign country or a governmental entity therein. See California Probate Code Section 6102.

Execution: A will must be in writing and signed by one of the following:
1) by the testator;
2) in the testator's name by some other person in the testator's presence and by the testator's direction;

(Uniform International Wills Act).

(c) The execution of the will complies with the law of the place where the time of execution or at the time of death the testator is domiciled, has a place of adode, or is a national. See California Probate Code Section 6113.

Validity of Holographic Wills: A will that does not comply with Section 6110 is valid as a holographic will, whether or not witnessed, if the signature and the material provisions are in the handwriting of the testator. If a holographic will does not contain a statement as to the date of its execution and:

(1) If the omission results in doubt as to whether its provisions or the inconsistent provisions of another will are controlling, the holographic will is invalid to the extent of the incosistency unless the time of its execution is established to be after the date of execution of the other will.

(2) If it is established tha the testator lacked testatmentary capacity at any time during which the will might have been executed, the will is invalid unless it is established that it was executed at a time when the testator had testamentary capacity.

Witnesses: Any person who is generally competent to be a witness may act as a witness to a will. A will or any provision is not invalid because the will is signed by an interested witness. Unless there are at least two other subscribing witnesses to the will who are disinterested witnesses, the fact that the will makes a devise to a subscribing witness creates a presumption that the witness procured the devise by duress, menace, fraud or undue influence. This a a presumption which will affect the burden of proof. This presumption will not apply where the witness is a person to whom the devise is made solely in a fiduciary capacity. If the devise made by the will to an interested party fails because the presumption applied to the devise and the witness fails to rebut the presumption, the interested witness will take such proportion of the devise made to the witness in the will as does not exceed the share of the estate which would be distributed to the witness if the will were not established.
