Whenever the validity of any will is contested on the ground of noncompliance with the formalities required by law, or for want of testamentary capacity on the part of the testator, and whether or not it be alleged that there is another and valid will of either later or earlier date of execution, an action may be brought by any heir or executor or legatee named in any will the validity of which it is sought to establish, for the purpose of determining whether the decedent left a valid will and, is so, in what document his last will and testament is contained.\nHistory —Code Civil Proc., 1933, § 598.
