| 单词 | Rule against delegation of testamentary power |
| 释义 | 針對轉授遺囑性質權力的規則 A rule which provides that in giving a power of appointment to another by will to select beneficiaries to receive a specific item of estate property, the testator must not delegate his or her testamentary or will-making power: Chichester Diocesan Fund v Simpson [1944] AC 341, 2 All ER 60 (HL). Accordingly, if a testator signs a document prepared by another person without knowledge of its contents, or a document which includes a phrase or even a word inserted by another of which he has no knowledge (Ng Chi-fong v Hui Ho Pui-fun [1987] HKLR 462), then either the document is not a valid will, or the phrase or word forms no part of an otherwise valid will, as the case may be. A condition which in effect delegates to another a testator’s testamentary power is void: Re Neave, Neave v Neave [1938] Ch 793, [1938] 3 All ER 220. Also known as ‘Rule against delegation of will-making power’. See also Power of appointment; Testamentary powers. 規定以遺囑向他人作出委任權以選擇受益人接受遺產的特殊物品時，立遺囑人必不可轉委其遺囑性質或訂立遺囑的權力：Chichester Diocesan Fund v Simpson [1944] AC 341, 2 All ER 60 (上議院)。因此，如立遺囑人在對內容不知情的情況下簽署由他人準備的文件，或載有由他人載入而他不知情的字句或即使是片言隻字的文件(Ng Chi-fong v Hui Ho Pui-fun [1987] HKLR 462)，則視乎個別情況而定，可兩份文件均屬無效遺囑，或有關的字詞不會構成有效遺囑的一部份。實際上轉委他人遺囑人遺囑性質權力的條件無效：Re Neave, Neave v Neave [1938] Ch 793, [1938] 3 All ER 220。另稱 「針對轉委訂立遺囑權力的規則」。另見 Power of appointment; Testamentary powers。 |
