Unsent Text Accepted as a Will

[Siamese Girl]

Interesting news from Australia that an unsent text message in the draft folder of a man's phone has been accepted as his legal will http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-41580970.

I suppose that if it was written before death it would be accepted as his intended will. I also suppose it's just a modern variation on the 'appeared personally' bits you see sometimes when reading through probate records when someone who knows the testator swears that an unsigned/non-witnessed/undated will is true.
