Testament

A testament generally refers to a person's legally binding declaration of how they want their assets and affairs handled after their death. Often associated with a will, it outlines the distribution of property, care for dependents, and appoints executors to manage the estate. In a broader sense, "testament" can signify evidence or proof of a particular fact or value, such as a testament to someone's character or accomplishments. In both contexts, it serves as a formal expression of intent, whether regarding individual wishes or the demonstration of principles and qualities.
