A high court judge ruled that the unconventional will written on food packaging was valid, allowing Diabetes UK to inherit £180,000, per the 1837 Wills Act.
The principal question for the court is whether these pieces of cardboard can be admitted to probate in solemn form, which the judge ultimately agreed to.
Chenery's will was formal despite being on cardboard boxes, as evidenced by it being written in the same pen and having overlapping subject matter.
The charity's claim for the bequest was supported by family members, and the fact that diabetes runs in their family was noted in court.
