Court found the professionally prepared 2008 will and 2012 codicil had been revoked by the testator's crossing out and confirmatory signatures; the subsequent homemade scripts (including the Alleged 2014 Script) were created in circumstances that were suspicious, contained material errors and inconsistencies and did not satisfy s.5(1) nor could they be admitted under s.5(2); therefore there was no valid will and the estate falls to intestacy with the plaintiff, as sole lawful child, entitled to letters of administration.
