Succession Act, 1925 — Section 89: Will or bequest void for uncertainty
89. Will or bequest void for uncertainty. A will or bequest not expressive of any definite intention is void for uncertainty. Illustration If a testator says “I bequeath goods to A”, or “I bequeath to A”, or “I leave to A all the goods mentioned in the Schedule” and no Schedule is found, or “I bequeath ‘money’, ‘wheat’, ‘oil’,” or the like, without saying how much, this is void. 90. Words describing subject refer to property answering description at testator’s death. The description contained in a will of property, the subject of gift, shall, unless a contrary intention appears by the will, be deemed to refer to and comprise the property answering that description at the death of the testator.
