This application concerns the interpretation of the Holograph Will of David Dewling Moss, who died in 2024.
The court was asked to determine whether the Canadian Cancer Society is the intended beneficiary of the estate, despite the will referring only to the "Cancer Society," and whether any other next of kin could be beneficiaries.
The court found that the Deceased intended to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society, and that the will, though informal, expressed a fixed and final intention.
The court also found that all reasonable steps were taken to identify and serve potential beneficiaries, and no one opposed the application.
The application was granted.
