Whom did she intend to benefit ultimately? Was it her husband Chacko @ Kunjacko or her son Sebastian (1st defendant)? Did she intend to confer an absolute right on her husband, including the power to make a testamentary disposition over the property included in Ext.B3 Will? If that be so, was the right given to the 1st defendant, as per Ext.B3, only a chance to succeed? What is the legal effect of Ext.B2 Will, the one executed by husband of the testatrix?
