Summary and Facts:<\/strong><br>Kong Kin Lay &amp; Ors v Kong Kin Song &amp; Ors [2025] 5 MLJ 891 concerns on validity of a will executed on 10.5.2014 by the late Mr Kong Siew Tong, who was 97 years old, illiterate, and wheelchair bound. He was survived by two wives and thirteen children, including the Appellants and Respondents. The will was prepared by the family lawyer, attested by two witnesses, and later kept under the Respondents\u2019 control. The Appellants challenged the will on grounds of lack of testamentary capacity, suspicious circumstances, and undue influence. The High Court rejected all challenges, upheld the validity of the will, granted probate to the 1st Respondent, and appointed him sole executor. The Appellants then appealed to the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Legal Issues:<\/strong><br>\u2022 Whether the High Court erred in holding that the Deceased had testamentary capacity, that no suspicious circumstances existed, and that the will was not procured by undue influence.<br>\u2022 Whether adverse inferences were wrongly drawn against the Appellants under section 114(g) of the Evidence Act 1950 due to their failure to question certain witnesses.<br>\u2022 Whether the \u201cGolden Rule\u201d, which requires medical confirmation of testamentary capacity in cases involving aged or infirm testators, ought to have been applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Court\u2019s Findings:<\/strong><br>\u2022 The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court\u2019s decision.<br>\u2022 There was genuine doubt about the Deceased\u2019s testamentary capacity, given his very old age, illiteracy, wheelchair-bound condition, and indications of senility.<br>\u2022 As the parties relying on the will, the Respondents failed to prove that the Deceased had the necessary capacity when the will was executed.<br>\u2022 The Court of Appeal considered the \u201cGolden Rule\u201d in Re Simpson\u2019s Case, which recommends medical confirmation of testamentary capacity for elderly or infirm testators, and noted that no doctor was involved to examine or record testamentary capacity, which was fatal.<br>\u2022 Combined with undue influence and the suspicious circumstances of the will, this cast doubt on its voluntariness.<br>\u2022 The Court declared the will invalid, held that the Deceased died intestate, and appointed the 1st Appellant and 1st Respondent as co-administrators under the Distribution Act 1958.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Practical Implications:<\/strong><br>This judgment affirms the several principle of laws including:<br>\u2022 Family members or potential beneficiaries should not control access, restrict contact, or otherwise exert influence over a testator, as this can invalidate a will.<br>\u2022 The burden of proving the testator\u2019s capacity will bear on the person who seeking to enforce the will.<br>\u2022 The will shall be executed in a proper way in order to avoid dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Kong Kin Lay &#038; Ors v Kong Kin Siong &#038; Ors [2025] 5 MLJ 891, the Court of Appeal set aside a will executed by a 97-year-old testator, holding that there was real doubt as to testamentary capacity, compounded by serious suspicious circumstances and undue influence by certain beneficiaries.

The Court emphasised that while the \u201cgolden rule\u201d is not a rule of law, failure to obtain medical confirmation of capacity where doubt exists is a grave omission. Credibility issues with the drafting solicitor, beneficiary involvement in the will\u2019s preparation, and suppression of evidence led the Court to declare the will invalid and order intestacy.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/will-and-probate-court-of-appeal-invalidates-will-of-97-year-old-testator-capacity-suspicion-and-undue-influence-proved\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"zh-TW","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/will-and-probate-court-of-appeal-invalidates-will-of-97-year-old-testator-capacity-suspicion-and-undue-influence-proved\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"zh-TW","@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/will-and-probate-court-of-appeal-invalidates-will-of-97-year-old-testator-capacity-suspicion-and-undue-influence-proved\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/willprobate-1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/willprobate-1.jpg","width":1200,"height":630},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/will-and-probate-court-of-appeal-invalidates-will-of-97-year-old-testator-capacity-suspicion-and-undue-influence-proved\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"WILL AND PROBATE \u2013 COURT OF APPEAL INVALIDATES WILL OF 97-YEAR-OLD TESTATOR: CAPACITY, SUSPICION AND UNDUE INFLUENCE PROVED"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/#website","url":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/","name":"Yew Huoi, How &amp; Associates | Leading Malaysia Law Firm","description":"YHA Law Firm is a leading law firm in Malaysia.Specialises in handling Civil,Maritime,Shipping Matters,Company Law,Family Law,Real Estate and many more","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"zh-TW"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/#organization","name":"Yew Huoi, How & Associates Law Firm | yhalaw.com.my","url":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"zh-TW","@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/YHA-Law-Logo-White-BG-New@2x-e1668772571446.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/YHA-Law-Logo-White-BG-New@2x-e1668772571446.png","width":2080,"height":369,"caption":"Yew Huoi, How & Associates Law Firm | yhalaw.com.my"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yhalaw"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/#\/schema\/person\/f778c60834a29c5ec215ab62d3207bef","name":"YHA Admin","sameAs":["https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6076"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6076"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6076\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6079,"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6076\/revisions\/6079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yhalaw.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
