Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testamentary capacity is the legal ability of a person to make a valid will. This includes understanding the nature and extent of one's property, recognizing the people who are the natural beneficiaries of the will (the "natural objects of one's bounty"), and being able to make decisions about how to distribute one's assets. It does not directly relate to the age of the testator (though minors typically lack testamentary capacity), the same capacity required to enter into contracts, or the influence of others over the testator, although undue influence can invalidate a will.
