- Court
- High Court
The intended Will met the s 14(1) criteria: it appeared to be a will, was created in New Zealand, and on the evidence (Family Court appointment under s 55, prior instructions and affidavits) expressed the deceased's testamentary intentions despite lack of signature and witnesses; accordingly the court validated the intended Will under s 14 Wills Act 2007 and granted the application.
