The Court exercised its s14 Wills Act 2007 jurisdiction and declared the October 2008 document to be a valid will because the document and corroborating affidavit evidence established that it embodied the deceased's testamentary intentions despite non‑compliance with the two‑witness requirement, and there was no unrepresented person entitled to be heard who would be disadvantaged by validation.
