Yes.  The key part seems to be "if the executor accepted the testimony of the witnesses". And according to the witnesses, Father Collins wanted Bishop Dolan before he died.

From what I have read on this thread, Fr. Collins was kind and charitable. Why then would he knowingly cause division and strife by changing his mind about who would celebrate his funeral Mass? It doesn't make sense.

Correct. The Saturday before Palm Sunday Fr. Collins went over his Last Will and Testament on the phone with John Sharpe. I believe Fr. McMahon was present for most of the conversation but at one point, Fr. Collins wanted to speak to John Sharpe alone. There should be no misunderstanding.

This is my last post on this issue.

The attacks on ALL of the people involved need to stop, especially attacks against Father McMahon and the executor. None of us have all of the facts. In Catholic charity everyone is entitled to their good name. The executor has the right to do as he sees fit with implementing the will. I was quite upset that Father McMahon was attacked personally and I defended him accordingly. Drew and Mrs. “Drew”, I apologize for my posts to you, however I was very bothered about what you wrote about Father McMahon, please stop. Folks, we’re all Catholics let’s act like Catholics, God will judge all in the end.

Is This Father Denis McMahon? Or another Father McMahon?
