officious testament

Read a random definition: two-party payment

A quick definition of officious testament:

An officious testament is a type of will that a person creates to distribute their property to their family members. This type of will reserves a portion of the estate for the testator's children and other natural heirs. It is also known as an officious will. In contrast, an inofficious testament is a will that does not distribute property to the testator's natural heirs, which can include a will that deprives heirs of a portion of the estate to which they are entitled by law. Other types of wills include closed, military, mutual, mystic, secret, and sealed testaments.

A more thorough explanation:

An officious testament is a type of will in civil law that disposes of property to the testator's family. It reserves the legitime for the testator's children and other natural heirs. This is different from an inofficious testament, which does not dispose of property to the testator's natural heirs.

  • John's will leaves all his property to his wife and children, which is an example of an officious testament.
  • On the other hand, if John's will left all his property to his friend instead of his children, it would be considered an inofficious testament.

These examples illustrate how an officious testament is a will that prioritizes the testator's family and natural heirs, while an inofficious testament does not.
