EWJ Dec 2023 - Journal - Page 76
Conclusion
If the Court had found that the 2000 Will was a
forgery, it would have been deemed invalid. If the
1994 will was not upheld by the Court, then Eustace
Watts would have to have died intestate. His estate
would have been distributed in accordance with the
intestacy rules, which would mean that as a child of
the deceased, Carlton would have received a portion
of 50% of his father’s net estate, which would be split
between his father’s children.
