Swedish term

enskilt testamente

Swedish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) last will and testament
A particular kind of will?
It seems like "individual will" would be a somewhat direct translation, but I want to confirm that such a concept exists.

Discussion

Kristian Andersson Apr 30, 2013:
Agree with Deane This is probably just a will, as opposed to a "gemensamt testamente" (joint will?).
Deane Goltermann Apr 30, 2013:
This is probably just a 'will' or 'will and ..." These references indicate there is no real difference between your term and simply 'testamente'. The differentiation is between the personal wishes of the deceased, and the legislated requirements of the law when the deceased is intestate. No matter what the testament says, there are also legal restrictions on what a person can do in their will.

Man skiljer mellan inbördes och enskilt testamente; ett inbördes testamente görs mellan två personer som vill ge varandra ömsesidig rätt till varandras arv. Ett enskilt testamente görs av en person. Se https://avtal24.se/om/Testamente_gemensamt.

(non-joint and non-mutual) Will made by one person

Re Sven's exposition>

joint Will: one will madeuted = signed and exec by two people e.g. spouses.

Mutual Will: two Wills made two people in each other's favour and difficult to pin down in contract as well as equity: 'creates a floating trust'.

Not necessarily a holograph/ic - self-written and unwitnessed Will.

NB the EN 'translation' in Henning Mankell's Dogs of Riga - see pp. 281, 285, 329 & 333 - of the word testamente in Hundarna i Riga as 'testimony'.
