The law requires that the intention of the testator/ testatrix in terms of a valid Will be given full adherence. So the consent of two individuals who are joint beneficiaries of property is required in respect of any decision partaining to the transfer of the property. One of the beneficiaries cannot unilaterally take such a key decision without the consent of the other.
