A document purporting to embody the testamentary intentions of a deceased
                person shall, notwithstanding that it has not been executed in accordance with the
                requirements under subsection (1), be deemed to be duly executed if, upon
                application, the court is satisfied that there can be no reasonable doubt that the
                document embodies the testamentary intentions of the deceased person.
