75-2-513. Separate writing identifying devise of certain types of tangible personal
property.
Whether or not the provisions relating to holographic wills apply, a will may refer to a
written statement or list to dispose of items of tangible personal property not otherwise
specifically disposed of by the will, other than money. To be admissible under this section as
evidence of the intended disposition, the writing shall be signed by the testator and shall describe
the items and the devisees with reasonable certainty. The writing may be referred to as one to be
in existence at the time of the testator's death; it may be prepared before or after the execution of
the will; it may be altered by the testator after its preparation; and it may be a writing that has no
significance apart from its effect on the dispositions made by the will.
