of the will solely on the basis that it doesn't have a second signature.

And particularly after a lifetime together, Doyle can likely drag this out for a VERY long time, and probably for the rest of his life.

Also, if they don't expect Doyle to live longer than the age of 85, then why the arbitrary time limit of 5 years? Since they seem convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that he will be dead before then, make the time limit as long as Doyle wishes, and it will be of equal sufficiency as their arbitrary "5 years".

They will never agree to that, likely, because of course it IS about the money.
