seaman's will

Read a random definition: Wagner Act

A quick definition of seaman's will:

A will is a document that a person writes to say what they want to happen to their things after they die. It's like a wish list for their stuff. There are different types of wills, like ones that are handwritten, ones that are spoken out loud, and ones that are made by more than one person. Some wills have to follow certain rules to be valid, but others can be more flexible.

A more thorough explanation:

A seaman's will is a type of will made by a sailor or someone in the military while they are at sea or in active service. It is similar to a soldier's will. These types of wills are usually informal and may not follow the usual legal formalities required for a will to be valid. However, they are still considered valid if the person making the will was in active service at the time.

For example, if a sailor writes a letter to his family while at sea, stating how he wants his property to be distributed in case he dies, this can be considered a seaman's will. Even though it may not be written on official legal documents or witnessed by a lawyer, it can still be considered valid if the sailor dies while in active service.
