The handwritten document, though unsigned and unwitnessed, was proved by contemporaneous evidence to express the deceased's testamentary intention and therefore was validated under s14 of the Wills Act 2007; the court will correct apparent clerical errors in beneficiary names and record a conservative range for the date of composition based on the evidence.
