    Citation
    RE HU HSIAO SHENG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCI2/2012

    The 2003 document was held not to embody the requisite animus testandi because it operated as an arrangement to repay loans rather than a testamentary disposition; therefore it is not a valid provable will under s.5 and must be disregarded, leaving the 2000 Will as the Deceased's last will and justifying grant of probate to the applicant.
