SUCCESSION ACT 2023 (NO 30 OF 2023) - SECT 16

16—Alteration of will

        (1)         No obliteration, interlineation or other alteration made in a will after its execution is valid or has any effect except so far as the words or effect of the will before such alteration are not apparent (unless the alteration is executed in the manner in which a will is required by this Act to be executed).

        (2)         However, the will with the alteration as part of the will is to be taken to be duly executed if the signature of the testator and the subscription of the witnesses are made in the margin or on some other part of the will opposite or near to the alteration or at the foot or end of or opposite to a memorandum referring to the alteration and written at the end or some other part of the will.
