A will is a written and signed declaration of the disposition one wishes to have made of his property in the event of his death. The maker of a valid will must be of sound mind and not less than twenty-one years of age. Women, whether married or single, if of proper age, are competent to make a will. A will may be written or unwritten. Unwritten wills are known as "nun-cupative."
Nun-cupative wills are employed only when through accident, or sudden seizure by a fatal disease, the time necessary to write and sign a will cannot be had. The unwritten will must be authenticated by reliable and unprejudiced witnesses, and generally it can dispose of personal property only.
