The will executed by New Zealand Guardian Trust Ltd on behalf of Eric Menzies on 27 April 1999 was valid despite the witnessing formality issue because it was executed by the authorised corporate property manager with the necessary company signatories, with clear intention for it to be a valid will; accordingly a declaration of validity and a grant of probate in solemn form were appropriate.
