Court found on the balance of probabilities an operative testamentary promise was made in 2007 rewarding the plaintiff's interest-free advance and ongoing support, that the services (financial advance and other support) were sufficient and not conditional on further payments, and that reasonable recompense under the Act is to vest three-quarters of the net sale proceeds of the Waiheke Island house in the plaintiff with the remaining quarter to the other beneficiary; the remainder of the will remains undisturbed.
