intention de tester

OBS: intention de tester : terme normalisé par le Comité de normalisation dans le cadre du Programme national de l'administration de la justice dans les deux langues officielles (PAJLO).
OBS: Il peut arriver que les termes anglais «testamentary intent» et «testamentary intention» soient employés plus largement au sens de «testator's intention», auquel cas ils se rendent par «intention du testateur».

CONT: Testamentary intent is the vital ingredient in determining whether or not the document can be given effect to as a will because ""nothing can receive probate which was not intended to be a testamentary act by the testator"". (Hull & Cullity, ""Macdonell, Sheard and Hull on Probate Practice"", 3rd ed., 1981, p. 44)
CONT: Known also as animus testandi. Essential for the validity of a will. Thus, a will executed in jest, or brought about by force, fear, fraud or undue influence will be set aside. (Curzon, 2nd, p. 362)
