On the evidence the sisters intended and treated the assets as jointly beneficial (rebutting any resulting trust); the Will of WYS was valid because she satisfied the Banks v Goodfellow criteria as evidenced by contemporaneous records, solicitor attendance and doctor’s certificate; and, on expert evidence of Chinese law and the factual findings, WKY was an i-tze/quasi‑adopted by WYL and therefore qualifies as an adopted son under s2(2)(c) IEO; accordingly both appeals are dismissed and the trial judge’s orders stand.
