The applicant challenged her mother's 2015 will, alleging lack of knowledge and approval, lack of testamentary capacity, and suspicious circumstances.
The 2015 will divided the estate equally among the three children, whereas a previous 2013 will had left the majority of the estate to the applicant.
The court found no suspicious circumstances, preferring the evidence of the drafting solicitor and the deceased's family doctor over the retrospective analysis of the applicant's expert geriatric psychiatrist.
The court concluded the deceased had the necessary testamentary capacity and dismissed the application.
