53-2-44. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Competency of witness at time of testifying
The question of the competency of an attesting witness relates to his competency at the time he is called to testify. However, a witness who was competent at the time of attestation may not defeat a will by rendering himself incompetent prior to the time of probate; in such a case, his testimony shall be received and his credibility shall be submitted to the jury.
