Text: ¶ 15. The testimony reflects that Tyree Irving (Tyree) referred Smith to attorney Solomon Osborne. Video equipment was set up at Osborne's office by Tyree on January 6, 1997. Smith hired a person to drive him to Greenwood on January 6, 1997. When Smith arrived at Tyree's office, Tyree took Smith to Osborne's office on January 6, 1997, for the initial interview. Tyree testified that Smith went to Osborne's office on January 6 on his own initiative and not as the result of his urging. The interview took over an hour to complete. Tyree testified that he picked up Smith after the interview. However, Tyree was not present for the taping. To the best of Tyree's recollection, he also dropped off and picked up Smith at Osborne's office on February 1, 1997, the date of execution of the will. Tyree was not present at the signing of the February 1, 1997, will nor the drafting of the will.
