- High Court
The Court declared the attached undated and unsigned document to be the valid will because the applicants proved on affidavit that the document accurately reflected the deceased's testamentary intentions, there was no prior will, the application affected only the applicants, and it was in the interests of justice to validate the document without notice, satisfying the requirements of ss13–14 of the Wills Act 2007.
