The solicitor's direct evidence established that the testator intended to appoint the two named principals as executors; clause 3 was a drafting error that failed to give effect to that intention and correction under s 31(1)(b) Wills Act 2007 was justified, particularly given s 63 Administration Act 1969 would otherwise prevent a valid grant.
