An estate planning attorney hired by Atlanta lawyer Claud “Tex” McIver and his wife, Diane, testified he drafted codicils for the couple’s wills before McIver shot and killed his wife last year, that, if executed, would have altered Diane McIver’s will that’s now in probate.
Atlanta attorney Harold Hudson said at a Sept. 5 hearing that, after the McIvers executed separate wills in 2005 and 2006, they repeatedly sought his advice on proposed changes. They had a long-running disagreement over arrangements tied to the inheritance of the couple’s Putnam County farm, he said.
