At least two doctors must be present in order for an adult ward to make a will at a time that the ward's capacity to appreciate the situation at hand has recovered temporarily.
成年被後見人が事理を弁識する能力を一時回復した時において遺言をするには、医師二人以上の立会いがなければならない。
The doctors present during the making of a will must make a supplemental note on the will indicating that the testator did not lack the capacity to appreciate the situation at hand at the time of making the will, and must sign it and affix their seals thereto; provided, however, that for a will in the form of a sealed and notarized instrument, the doctors must write an indication to that effect on the closed and sealed instrument, sign it, and affix their seals thereto.
遺言に立ち会った医師は、遺言者が遺言をする時において精神上の障害により事理を弁識する能力を欠く状態になかった旨を遺言書に付記して、これに署名し、印を押さなければならない。ただし、秘密証書による遺言にあっては、その封紙にその旨の記載をし、署名し、印を押さなければならない。
