On the evidence the draft will drafted in accordance with the deceased's instructions of 27 April 2011 reflected his testamentary intentions at the time of death and the absence of signature was due to oversight or illness rather than a change of mind; accordingly the draft is valid as the deceased's will under s 14 Wills Act 2007 and the without‑notice hearing was justified because affected beneficiaries consented and justice favored expedition.
