This is... weird? Unsent text on mobile counts as a will, Queensland court finds
This seems very odd. I don't know how to express myself on this, but leaving it in a political thread because legal stuff can often get heated. Also, it deals with suicide.A Queensland court has accepted a dead man's unsent, draft text message leaving his possessions to his brother and nephew instead of his wife and son, as an official will.
The Supreme Court in Brisbane heard the 55-year-old took his own life in October 2016, after composing a text addressed to his brother, which indicated his brother and nephew should "keep all that I have", because he was unhappy with this wife.
A friend found the text message in the drafts folder of the man's mobile phone, which was found near his body.
The unsent message detailed how to access the man's bank account details and where he wanted his ashes to be buried.
