The will did not carry out the will-maker's intentions because a clerical drafting error caused clause 7 to include Māori land interests which the will-maker had expressly excluded; accordingly, under s 31 of the Wills Act 2007 the Court must correct clause 7 by substituting wording excluding any interests in Māori land from the residuary estate.
