In the Will of Gaetano Settetrombe (also known as Guy Settetrombe), deceased [2024] QSC 239 addressed the issue of mistaken execution of Wills. Antonette Settetrombe applied for probate after a mix-up resulted in her signing a Will meant for her deceased husband, while he signed hers. Relying on section 18 of the Succession Act 1981 (Qld), which allows validation of documents intended to serve as wills but improperly executed, the court recognized the document signed by the applicant as the Will of the deceased. Justice Callaghan emphasized the deceased's intentions were clear, as he engaged a solicitor to draft the Will and believed he had properly executed it. Consequently, the court ordered probate be granted to Antonette Settetrombe, with estate costs covered on an indemnity basis.
