In re Wnuk’s Will, 256 Wis. 360, 41 N. W. (2d) 294 (1950) upheld as a good will, a deed signed by the grantor in the presence of two witnesses who also signed in his presence and in the presence of each other. But this deed by its terms was not to take effect until the grantor’s death. If the deed reads as though it is to be immediately effective, then apparently there is no chance of upholding it as a will. See Warranty Deed Upheld as Will, 1952 Wis. Law Review 181.
