Examination of will as to its execution
12.-(1) On receiving an application for probate or for administration with will annexed the probate registrar shall inspect the will, and see whether it appears to be signed by the testator, or by some other person in his presence, and by his direction, and to be subscribed by two witnesses according to the enactments relative thereto, and shall not proceed further if the will does not appear to be so signed and subscribed.
(2) If the will appears to be so signed and subscribed, the probate registrar shall then refer to the attestation clause (if any), and consider whether the wording thereof states the will to have been, in fact, executed in accordance with those enactments.
