LIVINGSTONE & ORS v LIVINGSTONE & ORS [2013] NZHC 2606

- High Court
The court validated the unsigned intended will because contemporaneous clear instructions to the solicitor, the solicitor's file note and corroborating hospital statements established the deceased's testamentary intention to alter his will before death; under s14 the document therefore expressed his will and should be declared valid despite non-compliance with s11.
