Construction of law applying to wills under foreign law
62 Construction of law applying to wills under foreign law
In determining whether a will has been executed in conformity with a particular law, regard must be had to the formal requirements of that law at the time of execution, but account may be taken of a later alteration of the law affecting wills executed at that time, if the alteration enables the will to be treated as properly executed.
If a law in force outside Tasmania is applied to a will, a requirement of that law that special formalities must be observed by testators of a particular description, or that the witnesses to the execution of a will must have certain qualifications, is to be taken to be a formal requirement only, despite any rule of that law to the contrary.
