The first section, which relates to wills in general, contains
provisions regarding the manner in which wills are
made, imposing, for example, the obligation that the act
of making a will must be a strictly unilateral act. Thus,
the making of reciprocal wills, i.e. where two people each
make a last will and testament in favour of the other or
both persons make wills in favour of a third person, is
prohibited (article 1296).
