Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-005335

Any written or recorded instrument that has legal effect, particularly in the context of wills and estates. This includes a will, trust, codicil, or power of attorney, which must meet specific statutory requirements for execution, such as being signed by the testator and properly witnessed. A document that fails to meet these formalities, like an unsigned will, is generally unenforceable in a probate court.
