The last will of a deceased woman, who left an estate with a net value of some â¬1.08 million, can be treated as valid, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
The case arose from a will of Mary Philomena Maureen McEnroe, otherwise Maureen McEnroe, of Cypress Park, Templeogue, Dublin, a retired company secretary, who died in May 2017, aged 87.
A single woman without children, she executed her last will and testament in May 2005 which was a home-made pre-printed will in her hand-writing on two sides of a single sheet of paper.
The will had three unexecuted alterations, described by Ms Justice Ãna NÃ Raifeartaigh as ârelatively minimal and not involving any essentialsâ.

A High Court judge has said she is satisfied the HSE correctly decided not to seek court orders to have the Covid-19 vaccine administered to a ward of court against her wishes.
The woman, aged in her seventies with dementia and various complex psychiatric conditions, is in a nursing home where about 98 per cent of the residents have received the vaccine.
Her treating clinician, while agreeing the woman lacks capacity to make appropriate decisions about her medical treatment, considered that forcibly administering the vaccine would be counterproductive for reasons including the objectives of her overall care plan involved building trust between her and staff.
