- HCAP14/2006
The 1983 Hong Kong will is validly executed and proved by attesting witnesses' affidavits and, because the original was withheld, the court will admit the lodged copy for probate; the 2003 Australian document is not accepted as a valid will due to expert findings of simulated signatures, absence of evidence of interpretation to the testator, and lack of any party propounding it locally; probate is granted to the plaintiff as proving executor and no costs order is made against parties since executor's costs are payable from the estate.
