Willmott v McCourt [2002] WASC 210
Cecil Ray French died at Murray District Hospital in Pinjarra on 5 August 1999. He was 87 years old.
During the 3 days he was in hospital with a chest infection, he was confused and falling in and out of consciousness. In one of his barely conscious moments, a friend who was visiting him helped him lift his arm and directed his hand to sign his last Will.
After Cecil's death, the first question for everyone was "Did Cecil know what he was signing?"
