Testamentary law deals with the will, or testament, by which a man, the testator, or a woman, the testatrix,' directs what shall be done with his or her property after death. Real estate given by will is a devise. Personal property so given is a legacy.5 Those receiving these gifts are devisees," or legatees." Bequests is a general term covering these gifts. Wills should always be drawn under judicious and experienced advice. Their provisions 10 should, in every case, be so clearly defined that there can be no mistake about the meaning. Any person of proper, age and sound judgment" may convey property by will. All legatees are debarred 12 by law from witnessing 13 wills in which they are interested; their signature11 would nullify 15 the whole instrument,16 and no person can serve as executor if he be under twenty-one years of age, a lunatic, 18 convict, imbecile,19 or an alien at the time of proving the will. The father may appoint his wife, son, brother, or any other relative as executor, and each in turn may do likewise, 17 |
