Are there any special arrangements for the Will if the testator is visually impaired?
If the testator is still able to sign/approve documents, the testator can get a person to read him the printed Will for him to understand and approve its content before signing it. This is similar to if the testator does not understand English.
Additionally, have the person who read out the content is to fill up the translator clause on the signing page of the Will (i.e. last page).
Under Language/dialect translated in, write the following:
Read aloud in {language} to the testator who is visually impaired.
Important Note:
For Wills that appears to have been signed by a blind or illiterate testator, or if there is some doubt about the signing of the Will, the Singapore court may require a supporting affidavit (i.e. affidavit of due execution) to be filed during probate application after the testator's death. The law firm assisting with the documents for probate application can help prepare this affidavit. You can read more about the affidavits requirement in the Family Justice Courts Practice Directions.
