11.02.200 Subscribing Witness; Rights Under Will

A subscribing witness to a will may take nothing by such will unless there be two (2) other competent subscribing witnesses to the same. Any devise to a subscribing witness is void only so far as the witness or anyone claiming under him is concerned, and such person will be a competent witness so far as the remainder of the will is concerned. In cases where such witness would have been entitled to share in the estate of the testator had there been no will, he succeeds to so much of the share as would be distributed to him, not to exceed what he would have taken by the will.
