A
will may refer to a written statement or list to dispose of items of tangible
personal property not otherwise specifically disposed of by the will, other
than money, evidences of indebtedness, documents of title, and securities and
property used in trade or business. To be admissible under this section as
evidence of the intended disposition, the writing must either be in the
handwriting of the testator or be signed by him and must describe the items and
the devisees with reasonable certainty. The writing may be referred to as one
to be in existence at the time of the testators death: it maybe be prepared
before or after the execution of the will; it maybe be altered by the testator
after its preparation; and it may be a writing which has no significance apart
from its effect upon the dispositions made by the will.
