No order for disclosure was made. Ms Karim disclosed a number of documents in support of her case, but her disclosure was not the result of a formal issue based search.

However, I directed Mr Steele to take steps to obtain:

As will be seen, the 2015 will was not prepared by a solicitor, but by a will writing business called Damsons Future Planning (the trading name of Damsons Estate Administration Limited) (“Damsons”). Damsons went into liquidation on 25 August 2022, with the wills prepared by it being dealt with by Kingswood Partnership (also not solicitors). The only documents they provided were the electronic file notes, and not the documents referred to in those notes. The execution of the will was apparently done at the offices of a solicitor in Walthamstow. There was no documentary evidence as to this.
