2 hrs confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 revendications légitimes des héritiers éventuels
Explanation:
Pour déterminer d'un point de vue pratique si le testateur était « sain d'esprit », il faut apprécier la preuve en tenant compte de la définition que le juge Rand a formulée dans l'arrêt Léger c. Poirier (1944), 3 D.L.R., aux pp. 11 et 12, [1944] R.C.S. 152 :
La personne « saine d'esprit » est celle qui est en mesure de comprendre, de son propre chef et de son propre gré, les éléments essentiels que suppose la rédaction d'un testament, à savoir disposition de ses biens, revendications légitimes des héritiers éventuels et des tiers, révocation de dispositions antérieures, et ainsi de suite [...]

Littéralement, l'expression pourrait se traduire "justes réclamations d'un part (de l'héritage)". Cette traduction m'apparaît donc cohérente.

| | Grading comment | Merci. La traduction de Léger c. Poirier est-elle de vous ? Si non, où puis-je trouver ces jugements et des expressions légales en français ? Sur Canlii, plusieurs jugements (dont certains de la Cour suprême du Canada) ne sont qu`en anglais. Peut-être que j`utilise mal Canlii: j`en suis à mes premiers pas, tout comme avec ProZ et Kudoz. |

11 hrs confidence: | property, objects, just claims to consideration, les biens à disposer, les récipients de ces biens, la manière de les répartir
Explanation:
"testimentary capacity...one able to comprehend...the essential elements of will making, property, objects, just claims to consideration, revocation of existing dispositions and the like;"
=
"... les biens à disposer, les récipients de ces biens, la manière de les répartir ..."
La définition de la capacité testamentaire donnée en 1870 est de loin la plus claire:
Banks v Goodfellow (1870), 5 QB 549 at 567:
"... [The testator] ought to be capable of making his will with an understanding of the nature of the business in which he is engaged, a recollection of the property he means to dispose of [=> property], of the persons who are the objects of his bounty [=> objects], and the manner in which it is to be distributed between them [=> just claims to consideration]. It is not necessary that he should view his will with the eye of a lawyer, and comprehend its provisions in their legal form. It is sufficient if he has such a mind and memory as will enable him to understand the elements of which it is composed, and the disposition of his property in its simple forms."

Reference information:
Banks v Goodfellow (1870), 5 QB 549 at 567:
... [The testator] ought to be capable of making his will with an understanding of the nature of the business in which he is engaged, a recollection of the property he means to dispose of, of the persons who are the objects of his bounty, and the manner in which it is to be distributed between them. It is not necessary that he should view his will with the eye of a lawyer, and comprehend its provisions in their legal form. It is sufficient if he has such a mind and memory as will enable him to understand the elements of which it is composed, and the disposition of his property in its simple forms.
[34] In Leger v. Poirier, [1944] SCR 152 at 161, the Supreme Court of Canada used the term "disposing mind and memory", which it defined as “one able to comprehend, of its own initiative and volition, the essential elements of will-making, property, objects, just claims to consideration, revocation of existing dispositions, and the like ...”
[35] A more recent formulation of the test is found in Re Schwartz, [1970] 2 OR 61 at 78 (CA), aff'd [1972] SCR 150 where Laskin J.A. (dissenting on other grounds) summarized the elements of testamentary capacity:
... The testator must be sufficiently clear in his understanding and memory to know, on his own, and in a general way (1) the nature and extent of his property, (2) the persons who are the natural objects of his bounty and (3) the testamentary provisions he is making; and he must, moreover, be capable of (4) appreciating these factors in relation to each other, and (5) forming an orderly desire as to the disposition of his property...."
