Wills

/wɪlz/ noun

Definition

legal documents stating how a person's possessions should be distributed after death

Etymology

from Old English willa 'desire, wish, will', from Proto-Germanic *wiljô

Kelly Says

A will is literally your final 'wish' made legally binding - the word comes from the same root as 'willing' and 'voluntary.' It's your last chance to have your way!
