The document, prepared by the deceased's solicitors on her instructions and supported by contemporaneous communications and affidavits, expressed the deceased's testamentary intention to increase a pecuniary legacy; non‑execution due to COVID visiting restrictions did not defeat that intention and, with affected beneficiaries consenting or not opposing, validation under s14 Wills Act 2007 was appropriate and granted.
