An order dismissing with prejudice purported beneficiary's petition for disbursement of funds from an estate is reversed and remanded where, although a certain letter did not constitute a sufficient writing to bequeath monies, the purported beneficiary raised a potentially credible issue that the writing constituted a codicil in a timely motion for rehearing.
