In Indiana, if the 2010 Will is unsigned or not properly executed (in front of two witnesses) and the 2007 Will is signed and properly executed, then the Court will allow the 2007 Will to control.

How do I leave everything to my kids?

Answered by attorney David T McAndrew (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at David T. McAndrew, Attorney at Law
Write a will. See an attorney. However, even if you leave all your assets in your name, and plan distribution through your will, your wife has certain elections, (money due her) that takes priority over the other transfers. So, even if you left all to your children, your wife could elect to invade those assets first, up to a certain statutory amount. Better choice, put your children?s names on the assets, as designated beneficiaries, and then there will not be a probate estate to argue about.

You can make an amendment or "Codicil" to a Will in the same manner that you executed the will. You will need to have at least 2 witnesses to the Codicil. You could also execute a new Will to make the change.
