Oral Will

Oral Will. (a) An oral will is a nuncupative will. An oral will may be made under this chapter only by a person in imminent peril of death, whether from illness or otherwise, and shall be valid only if the testator dies as a result of or during the impending peril. An oral will must be: (1) Declared to be his will by the testator before two disinterested witnesses; and (2) Submitted for probate within six months after the death of the testator unless the court, for good cause, permits it to be submitted later. (b) An oral will made under this chapter may dispose of personal property only and to an aggregate value not exceeding $5,000. (c) An oral will made under this chapter neither revokes nor changes an existing written will. Source: PL 3-106, ch. 3, § 5.
