Succession Act 1965 section 105

Joint dispositions

Section 105 confirms that the rules governing the form and execution of wills apply equally where two or more people make their testamentary wishes in a single document.

• A joint will is a single document containing the testamentary dispositions of two or more persons.
• All the formal requirements that apply to an individual will also apply to a joint will.
• Each person making dispositions in the joint document must comply with the same execution rules as if they had made a separate will.
• This provision ensures consistency of formalities regardless of whether a will is made individually or jointly.
