An unattested alteration made after the will is executed is invalid, and may also invalidate any existing part of the will that the alteration obliterated or made impossible to decipher.

(See [[Making and Executing a Will (16:III)#F. Court’s Power to Cure Deficiencies and Rectify Wills | Section III.F]], above, which also discusses the power of rectification under s 59). | An unattested alteration made after the will is executed is invalid, and may also invalidate any existing part of the will that the alteration obliterated or made impossible to decipher.
