Malcolm Chenery's pledged £180,000 to charity - but his unusual will faced legal problems.
Malcolm Chenery wrote half his will on the inside of this fish fillets box A man’s £180,000 fortune will go to a charity rather than his relatives after a will written on the back of cardboard food packaging was found to be valid. Shortly before taking his own life in 2021, Malcolm Chenery started handwriting his will on the inside of a Young’s frozen fish fillets box. After running out of space, he completed it on a Mr Kipling mince pies box.
The fact that the pages were written on different food boxes stirred doubts as to whether they could be admitted as parts of the same document. Sam Chandler, representing the The British Diabetic Association, said the charity’s claim was uncontested and had ‘the support of family members’.
