- High Court
The Court declared the unsigned draft to be the valid will because the evidence established it reflected the deceased's testamentary intentions, it was created in New Zealand, relevant beneficiaries and the formerly named executor consented, and there were no competing claims or objections, thereby satisfying s 14 of the Wills Act 2007.
