A will is a legal declaration by a person, the testator, providing directions for the disposal of his personal property on his demise. A will deed ensures that the disposal of a person’s property is according to his wishes, thereby, preventing any future dispute between the heirs. A will is a unilateral document that takes effect after the death of the testator. It can be revoked or altered by the testator at any time when he is competent to dispose of his property.
