Here, the appendices were not proved as incorporated documents, so the testamentary scheme failed for incompleteness. The will also remained unproved because suspicious circumstances, including beneficiary involvement, custody issues, non-examination of a key witness, and an unequal detailed distribution, were not dispelled.
