Under the Transfer of Property Act 1882, what is the minimum number of attesting witnesses required for an instrument?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The TPA section 3 definition of attested requires at least two witnesses. Each must have witnessed execution or received the prescribed personal acknowledgement and sign in the executant’s presence. The two witnesses need not both be present at the same time, and no particular form of attestation is necessary. The rule applies where legal attestation is required, not to every document regardless of type.
