1. Practitioners should note that pursuant to Order 79 Rule 3 of the Rules of the Superior Courts applications for Grants must be made personally or through Town Agents, but cannot be made by post.
2. All notices of application lodged must be typed. This requirement is necessary to ensure that the correct details of every application are accurately recorded on the computer of this office.
3. New Technology - Wills
   The following guidelines are suggested for the preparation of Wills by Word Processors, I.B.M. Personal computers, Laser Printers and so forth. These guidelines have already been agreed in principle with the Law Society Technology Committee.
   Wills prepared on single sheets with writing on one side only, should be bound in the traditional methods. These include:-
4. Ribbon or Tape;
5. Staples covered over by heavy adhesive material;
6. Brass Eyelets.

Each page containing written material should be numbered in the following manner:

in the case of a Will consisting of 10 separate sheets with writing on one side of each sheet, each written page should be numbered Page 1 of 10, Page 2 of 10, and so forth.

The suggested attestation clause would read as follows:

"Signed and acknowledged by the above-named Testator as and for his last Will and Testament in the presence of us both present at the same time who in his presence at his request and in the presence of each other have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses this Will having been printed on the front side only of the foregoing 10 sheets of A4 paper."

The shortened form of attestation clause may, of course, be used i.e. "Signed by the Testator in the presence of us and signed by us in the presence of the Testator". The statement regarding the content of the Will must, of course, be added.
