If alterations or interlineations are made prior to the execution, they become an integral part of the will,12 although such alterations, if not in the testator's handwriting, may give ground for suspicion of fraud. If alterations are made after the execution of the will, they have no dispositive force.13 Ordinarily, the alterations having no effect in such cases, will not revoke the will either wholly or in part.14 If, however, the cancellation and alterations are made with a view to making another will, they will serve as a revocation of the old one.15
