In forceOfficial text

(1) A will made by the spouses in one and the same instrument, or, as is commonly known, unica charta, is valid.

(2) Where such will is revoked by one of the testators with regard to his or her estate, it shall continue to be valid with regard to the estate of the other.

(3) A will unica charta shall be drawn up in a manner that the provisions with regard to the estate of one of the testators are drawn up in a part separate from those containing the provisions of the other spouse.

(4) The non-observance of the provisions of sub-article (3) shall not cause the nullity of any provision of the will if it is otherwise intelligible; but the notary drawing up the will shall be liable to a fine of two hundred and thirty-two euro and ninety-four cents (232.94) to be imposed by the Court of Revision of Notarial Acts.
