75-3-410. Formal testacy proceedings -- Probate of more than one instrument.
If two or more instruments are offered for probate before a final order is entered in a
formal testacy proceeding, more than one instrument may be probated if neither expressly revokes
the other or contains provisions which work a total revocation by implication. If more than one
instrument is probated, the order shall indicate what provisions control in respect to the
nomination of an executor, if any. The order may, but need not, indicate how any provisions of a
particular instrument are affected by the other instrument. After a final order in a testacy
proceeding has been entered, no petition for probate of any other instrument of the decedent may
be entertained, except incident to a petition to vacate or modify a previous probate order and
subject to the time limits of Section 75-3-412.
