  Hello, everyone, and welcome to EnglishPod.

• 00:05

  My name is Marco.

• 00:06

  My name is Catherine, and today we have a very serious dialogue for you.

• 00:10

  That's right.

• 00:10

  We are going to talk about a will and testament, the last will and testament of someone.

• 00:16

  All right.

• 00:16

  So what is a will and testament?

• 00:18

  Well, basically, this is a document that someone writes, usually with a lawyer,

• 00:22

  that explains what to do with the person's body and their possessions, their things, after they die.

• 00:29

  So many people write these and the family will then use it to discover

• 00:33

  who gets to receive certain objects and what to do with this person's body.

• 00:38

  Right.

• 00:39

  Exactly.

• 00:39

  So that is a last will and testament.

• 00:42

  We are going to take a look at an example of ones you would see more or less in English.

• 00:48

  How one is written.

• 00:50

  Now, obviously, they can be very long and very complex.

• 00:52

  So we've taken one that has some interesting words there that are a little bit more specific,

• 00:58

  a lot of legal terms there.

• 01:00

  So why don't we listen to this dialogue for the first time and we'll be back shortly.
