A joint grant to two or more individuals is necessary if there is a minority or if a life interest arises under the will or intestacy. (Halsbury’s Laws of England, 3rd ed., v. 16, pp. 217-218)

OBS

Co-executors, however numerous, are regarded in law as an individual person. The same principle applies under a joint grant of administration. Thus, under a joint grant of representation, the act of one representative is regarded as the act of all unless there is a statutory provision to the contrary.("Williams, Mortimer & Sunnucks on Executors, Administrators and Probate", 1982, p. 683)
