A quick definition of last will and testament:

Last Will and Testament: A document that tells people what should happen to someone's things after they die. It can say who gets a house, a car, or money. It can also say who should take care of kids if their parents die. If someone doesn't write a last will and testament, a special court will decide what happens to their things.

A more thorough explanation:

A last will and testament is a legal document that outlines what should happen to a person's property after they die. It is also commonly referred to as a "will".

For example, if someone writes a last will and testament, they may specify that their house should be given to their children, their car should be sold and the proceeds given to a charity, and their savings account should be split evenly between their spouse and their siblings.

If someone dies without a last will and testament, their property will be distributed according to the laws of their state. This is called "intestate succession".

It's important to have a last will and testament to ensure that your wishes are carried out after you die. Without one, your property may not be distributed as you would have wanted.
