Read a random definition: Voting Rights Act

A quick definition of secret testament:

A will is a document that a person writes to say what they want to happen to their things after they die. There are different types of wills, like a handwritten one called a holographic will, or one that is spoken out loud called a nuncupative will. Some wills are secret and kept hidden, while others are signed by witnesses. A will can also be made by a married couple together, called a joint will. It's important to have a will so that your things go to the people you want them to go to.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A type of will that is kept secret until the testator's death. It is also known as a mystic will. A will is a legal document that outlines how a person's property and assets will be distributed after their death.

Example: John creates a secret testament that he keeps hidden in a safe. In the will, he leaves all his property to his sister, even though he has children. The will is not discovered until after John's death.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a secret testament is a will that is kept hidden until the testator's death. In this case, John's will was not discovered until after he died, and it revealed that he had left all his property to his sister, which was a surprise to his children.
