Effect and form of order

(1) Where an order is made under this Act, then for all purposes, including the purposes of the enactment relating to 21 estate duty, the will shall have effect, and shall be deemed to have had effect as from the testator’s death, as if it had been executed with such variations as may be specified in the order for the purpose of giving effect to the provision for maintenance thereby made. (2) The court may give such consequential direction as it thinks fit for the purpose of giving effect to an order made under this Part, but no larger part of the net estate shall be set aside or appropriated to answer by the income thereof the provision for maintenance thereby made than such a part as, at the date of the order, is sufficient to produce by the income thereof the amount of the said provision. (3) A certified copy of every order made under this Act shall be filed with the probate papers in the Registry relating to the estate of the deceased and shall be permanently annexed to the probate of the will of the testator or the letters of administration with the will annexed, as the case may be.
