Question juridique clé
Whether the handwritten text of 7 January 2007 is a valid testamentary disposition or only an informal note.
Solution extraite
The handwritten text contained an animus testandi and, interpreted in context, validly supplemented the public will as a testamentary bequest.
Motifs extraits
The court held that testamentary intent need not be explicit if it can be derived from the text together with admissible surrounding circumstances; the wording could reasonably be understood as a post-mortem disposition.
