WHAT DOES NUNCUPATIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

nuncupative

Oral will

An oral will is a will that has been delivered orally to witnesses, as opposed to the usual form of wills, which is written and according to a proper format. A minority of U.S. states, permit nuncupative wills under certain circumstances. Under most statutes, such wills can only be made during a person's "last sickness," must be witnessed by at least three persons, and reduced to writing by the witnesses within a specified amount of time after the testator's death. Some states also place limits on the types and value of property that can be bequeathed in this manner. A few U.S. states permit nuncupative wills made by military personnel on active duty. Under the law in England and Wales oral wills are permitted to military personnel and merchant seamen on duty and it is common practice for in Commonwealth countries. An analogy can be drawn to the concept of last donations established by Roman law and still in effect in England and Wales. See also: Dying declaration...
