The testatrix executed her will on the back deck of her insurance agency during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The applicant, the testatrix's daughter and named executrix, sought to prove the will.
The two attesting witnesses, former employees of the testatrix who subsequently worked for the respondent, claimed they did not see the testatrix sign the will.
The court found the attesting witnesses lacked credibility, noting one witness refused to sign an affidavit of execution due to a dispute over severance pay.
The court accepted the applicant's evidence that the will was properly executed in the presence of both witnesses and declared the document to be the valid last will and testament.
