A Maryland last will and testament is an enforceable record of a person’s desires for the distribution of their property after they die. A person who creates a will is known as a testator, while those who receive property under the will’s terms are known as beneficiaries. Wills can be revoked by future wills, while a modification to an existing will is called a codicil.
