12 When an interpreter may benefit from a disposition
(1) This section applies if— (a) for the purposes of making a will the
services of a person (an
"interpreter" ) are used to interpret or translate from or to a language
understood by the testator; and
(b) a disposition of property is made by the
will to the interpreter.
(2) The disposition is void to the extent it
concerns the interpreter or a person claiming under the interpreter.
(3)
However, subsection (2) does not apply if— (a) all the persons who would
benefit directly from the avoidance of the disposition consent in writing to
the distribution of the disposition under the will and have the capacity to
give the consent; or
(b) the court is satisfied that the testator knew and
approved of the disposition and it was made freely and voluntarily by the
testator.

"disposition of property" does not include a charge or direction for the
payment of appropriate remuneration for being an interpreter for the testator
in relation to the will.
