Interestingly, not everyone can be a testator recognised by law. One must have the mental capacity to make a will. By Jamaican law, the following persons are therefore not qualified:
lunatic
minors under age of 18
idiots
persons of unsound mind

Here is form only where the testator wishes to divide his property specifically and absolutely amongst his children and/ or other objects.
