What is testatrix meaning?

Testatrix is a legal term used to describe a woman who makes a legally valid will. It comes from the Latin word "testis," which means "witness," and "trix," which is a feminine suffix. The term is often used interchangeably with the word "testator," which refers to a person of either gender who makes a will. In order for a will to be considered legally valid, the testatrix must be of sound mind and over the age of 18, and the document must meet certain requirements, such as being signed in front of witnesses. The testatrix may also designate an executor to carry out the instructions of the will after her death.
