What Is the Difference Between a Decedent and a Deceased Person? A deceased person is someone who has died. While the word decedent also refers to a person who has passed away, it denotes a legal status as well. Essentially, all decedents are deceased people, but not all deceased people are decedents.
A last will and testament is a written document that details who a decedent decided should receive items of property from the estate. Its execution is managed by an executor or personal representative named in the document.
A last will and testament is a legal document that communicates a persons final wishes pertaining to their assets. It provides specific instructions about what to do with their possessions. It will indicate whether the deceased leaves them to another person, a group, or wishes to donate them to charity.
A handwritten will is only acceptable in Kentucky if the testator writes their entire will in their handwriting, sign, and date their will in front of two witnesses. A handwritten will without witnesses is not valid. Oral Will: An oral or spoken will, sometimes called a nuncupative will, is not valid in Kentucky.
Though it has been thought a will historically applied only to real property, while testament applied only to personal property (thus giving rise to the popular title of the document as last will and testament), records show the terms have been used interchangeably.
