A Rhode Island last will and testament is used to transfer the property of a person after their death. Wills are created by the decedent, known as the testator, listing various people or organizations, known as beneficiaries, and specifying what property they are to receive. A will can also include instructions regarding its administration, including nominating a person to oversee the distribution of property.
