- High Court
The document, though not witnessed by two people as required by s11, plainly records the deceased's testamentary intention, was made in New Zealand, there was no competing will, one son consented and the other cannot be located, and the appointment language sufficiently identifies an executor; accordingly the Court declared it a valid will under s14 of the Wills Act 2007.
