Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

Yes. The Will must be signed and witnessed by at least two witnesses to be legally valid. An unsigned Will would not be legally valid.

If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Yes, if an estate needs to be opened. Often, it does not. Whether it does in your case depends on whether or not there were assets titled in the father's name alone. This is relatively unusual. If there is a Will, it provides for the order of priority in acting as PR. If there is no Will, then State law does so.
