WILLS.

PRACTICAL REMARKS.

If a man's estate consists merely of personal property, he may make his will, without witnesses, but it is best to have them.

If real estate is to pass by it, there must be three witnesses at least; and these witnesses must subscribe the will, in the presence of the testator.

The attestation is sure to be good, if the testator signs the will in the presence of three witnesses-tells them it is his will, and requests them to witness it-and sees them write their names as witnesses.

In drawing the will, it ought to be recollected, that any provision made in it for the wife, will not prevent her having dower also, unless it is declaredto be in lieu of dower.

In a devise of real estate, it is always adviseable to say what interest is intended to be given, whether for years, or life, or forever,: and also to describe the property with reasonable certainty.

Lands purchased after making a will, do not pass by it, unless it is republished: nor will after born children receive any benefit from it, unless they are provided for by a codicil.

The republishing of a will, is in fact a new execution of it, and it may be done in the presence of the former, or any other three witnesses.

A codicit is as far as it goes, a new and supplemental will, and requires a like attestation, with the original will.
