“A will”

Any testamentary document is treated as a will. When a law or legal text uses the term 'a will', any document made to dispose of property on death falls within that meaning. The effect is that different forms or labels of testamentary papers are covered as wills.

Priya writes a handwritten note leaving her jewellery to Meera but does not label it 'will'. Because the note is a testamentary document, it is treated as a will for legal purposes and can be dealt with under will laws.
