Alberta > Wills and Estates:What is a will?The dictionary defines a will as the legal statement of a person's last wishes as to the disposition of his or her property after death. When you make a will, you are known as the testator (or sometimes testatrix if female). The person you put in charge of carrying out your wishes as expressed in the will is called an executor/executrix. In Alberta, and in every province in Canada, a will must be in writing.
