Transfers and bequests to persons out of line of succession. If any Taluqdár or Grantee shall heretofore have transferred or bequeathed, or if any Taluqdár or Grantee or his heir or legatee shall hereafter transfer or bequeath to any person not being a Taluqdár or Grantee the whole or any portion of his estate, and such person would not have succeeded according to the provisions of this Act to the estate or to a portion thereof if the transferor or testator had died without having made the transfer and intestate, the transfer of and succession to the property so transferred or bequeathed shall be regulated by the rules which would have governed the transfer of and succession to such property if the transferee or legatee had bought the same from a person not being a Taluqdár or Grantee. — 16. Transfers to be in writing, signed and attested. No transfer of any estate, or of any portion thereof, or of any interest therein, made by a Taluqdár or Grantee or by his heir or legatee under the provisions of this Act, shall be valid unless made by an instrument in writing signed by the transferor and attested by two or more witnesses.
