Wills attestation "at the foot or end'*. In The
Estate of Bercovitz, Canning and Robege
v.
Enever
(April 19, 1961) the deceased had signed his name
at both the top and bottom of his will, whereby he
purported to dispose of an estate of not less than
£300,000 net. The attesting witnesses, however, had
only signed their names below the top signature.
Phillimore J. held upon the evidence that the only
signature witnessed was that at the top, and since
the signature "at the foot or end" of the document
had not been attested in accordance with s. 9 of the
Wills Act, 1837,
the will must be pronounced
against.
