secret will

Read a random definition: de attornato recipiendo

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.
