The Gazette 1961 - 64

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.
