Civil Code (Cap. 16), article 592
592. (1) A will made by the spouses in one and the same
instrument, or, as is commonly known, unica charta, is valid.
(2) Where such will is revoked by one of the testators with
regard to his or her estate, it shall continue to be valid with regard
to the estate of the other.
(3) A will unica charta shall be drawn up in a manner that the
provisions with regard to the estate of one of the testators are drawn
up in a part separate from those containing the provisions of the
other spouse.
(4) The non-observance of the provisions of sub-article (3)
shall not cause the nullity of any provision of the will if it is
otherwise intelligible; but the notary drawing up the will shall be
liable to a fine of two hundred and thirty-two euro and ninety-four
cents (232.94) to be imposed by the Court of Revision of Notarial
Acts.
