closed testament

Read a random definition: constitutional avoidance

A quick definition of closed testament:

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 ones that are written by hand, ones that are spoken out loud, and ones that are kept secret. Some wills need to be signed by witnesses to make sure they're real. If you don't have a will, the government will decide what happens to your things.

A more thorough explanation:

A closed testament is a type of will that is also known as a mystic will. It is a secret will that is signed by the testator and sealed in an envelope in the presence of witnesses. The notary public then endorses the envelope with a statement of all the facts surrounding the transaction, which is signed by the notary and all the witnesses. This type of will is recognized in civil law jurisdictions.

Example: John signed a closed testament in the presence of three witnesses and a notary public. He then sealed the will in an envelope and gave it to the notary public. The notary public endorsed the envelope with a statement of all the facts surrounding the transaction, which was signed by the notary and all the witnesses.

This example illustrates how a closed testament is a secret will that is signed by the testator and sealed in an envelope in the presence of witnesses.
