secret will

Read a random definition: nugatory

A quick definition of secret will:

A will is a document that tells people what to do with your things after you die. It's like a wish list for your stuff. There are different types of wills, like a secret will that is kept hidden, or a joint will that two people make together. Some wills are written down, while others are spoken out loud. It's important to make a will so that your things go to the people you want them to go to.

A more thorough explanation:

A secret will is a type of will that is kept hidden from others until the testator's death. It is also known as a mystic will. This type of will is signed by the testator and then sealed and delivered to a notary in the presence of three to seven witnesses. The notary then indorses on the envelope containing the will a statement of all the facts surrounding the transaction, and this is signed by the notary and all the witnesses.

For example, if a person writes a secret will and seals it in an envelope, only to be opened after their death, it would be considered a secret will. The notary and witnesses would have to attest to the fact that the testator signed the will and that it was sealed in their presence.

@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.

Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
