Law of Wills

The Law of Wills governs how a person's assets and properties are distributed after their death, based on their written instructions. A will is a legal document where an individual, known as the testator, specifies who will receive their belongings and appoints an executor to carry out these wishes. To be valid, a will typically must be in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed by others. This law ensures that the deceased's intentions are respected, while also providing a clear process for resolving any disputes that may arise among heirs.
