Will law, also known as testamentary law, governs the creation and execution of legal documents called wills. These documents outline an individual's wishes for the distribution of their assets after their death. Will law encompasses various aspects, including requirements for a valid will, the appointment of executors to carry out the testator's wishes, and the designation of beneficiaries. It addresses issues such as inheritance, bequests, provisions for minor beneficiaries, and charitable donations. Will law also covers situations involving contested wills, undue influence, lack of capacity, and challenges to the validity of wills. It intersects with estate planning, allowing individuals to plan for the management and distribution of their property upon their passing. This area of law varies by jurisdiction, reflecting cultural norms and legal formalities in determining how an individual's estate should be divided among heirs and beneficiaries.
