s14 validation was unavailable because of the timing of execution and death and the Act's restrictions; the Court had no jurisdiction to treat the husband's-signed document as the wife's will, but under s31 the Court could correct the document actually signed by the deceased to reflect her testamentary intentions; the appropriate corrections were to swap the names and replace the phrase 'my said wife' with 'my said husband'; probate was adjourned pending compliance with Part 27 High Court Rules.
