ABSTRACT This court allowed the application under Section 41 of the Probate and Administration Act 1959 to compel production and forensic examination of her deceased father's alleged will. The will, executed one day before death, excluded all daughters in favour of sons, with the Plaintiffs refusing examination for seven years despite multiple requests. The Court held the 1st Defendant qualified as a "person interested" with intestate succession rights and that the Plaintiffs' admission established possession. Suspicious circumstances—including timing (executed while critically ill), daughter exclusion, inconsistent representations and prolonged concealment—warranted expert examination essential for investigating forgery allegations. KEYWORDS Probate and Administration Act 1959, Section 41; will production; forensic examination; person interested; testamentary capacity; forgery allegations; intestate succession; Distribution Act 1958; burden of proof; Evidence Act 1950
