- High Court
The court was satisfied on the evidence that the 2012 will was executed with testamentary capacity and without undue influence and that the 2014 will was executed when the testator lacked capacity and was likely influenced by the first respondent; accordingly the 2012 will is the deceased's last valid will and probate in solemn form must be granted to the applicant, with the applicant entitled to solicitor and own client costs payable from the estate.
