Do you disagree with the proposition of law I stated?
I’ll offer another proposition: the executor should get a formal legal opinion from a competent estate attorney in the decdedent’s jurisdiction, backed up by a hefty malpractice policy. And should get a supplemental opinion from attorneys in other states where the decedent had significant assets.

Assuming I was executer for both wills I would try to determine if the unsigned will was made with sound mind and reflected the desires of the decedent.
I would take both to the lawyer with my recommendation.
I would expect that will to be submitted to the probate court along with supporting information.
