II.   Instruments & Transactions

A Will is a formal Instrument issued under the Scientiam Mysteria (Occult Knowledge) standards of instruments and writing first formed under King Henry VIII of England from the 16th Century as a form of Deed by which a man or woman as Owner and Principal of a Person may transfer any real property such as rights, manors, advowsons, lands, tithes, rents, tenements or hereditements “seized” to the Estate of the Person to another (person). A Will during the life of a man or woman is known simply as a “Will” and a Will made in preparation for the event of the physical death or disablement of the body of a man or woman is called a “Last Will”.

The Legal concept of Will presumes the following essential concepts since its first creation:

(i) A Will must always be in writing; and

(ii) A Will always pertains to a Person and not to a man or woman (as by tradition a Testament pertains to a man or woman); and

(iii) A Will always pertains to the intention and transfer of Estate Property of a Person; and

(iv) Unless otherwise stated, the particular Estate relating to a Will relates to a trust described as “cestui que vie” or “cestui que use”, or otherwise described by tenure as “term of life or years” or estate as is per autre vie (‘for the benefit of another’); and

(v) Excluding those in possession of higher estates (non cestui que vie related), all Persons may express and execute their “Will” as the written evidence of the “free will” and “intention” of the Person at any time as well as craft a “Last Will”; and

(vi) Any argument, claim, judgment, opinion, or order that deprives a Person under Cestui Que Vie/Use of their Right to express their “Will” as the “free will” and “intention” of the Person, is a fundamental breach of all Trust, Estate and Western-Roman Law, rendering such act null and void from the beginning.

Contrary to any and all false claims, the concept of Person did not properly enter English law until the end of the 17th Century. Therefore any reference to Will in Statute prior to the end of the 17th Century is almost certainly a falsity, deception, trickery and corruption.

In regards to the legislative history of Wills:

(i) The claimed first reference to Will in Statute is in 1535 by King Henry VIII of England (27Hen.8 c.10) which stated that those with valid use of property still had use of property even though it had been seized by the Crown and converted into property through estates by will; and

(ii) The second reference to Will in Statute is in 1540 by King Henry VIII of England (32 Hen.8 c.1) in which the concept of Estates was explained and under §2 that a man possessed the right to express their Will and transfer property or their Last Will for such property then to be transferred on their death; and

(iii) Wills were further explained in 1542 by King Henry VIII of England (34Hen8.c.5) where it was made clear estates held in “fee simple” or a “sole estate” could have part or all of the estate disposed and transferred during the life of the man or woman. However, the act made clear that higher estates granted by the crown as franchises could only be disposed under a last will and testament; and

(iv) In 1676, Charles II of England (29Car2.c.3) mandated that contracts, wills, grants and assignments, surrender of leases or interest in real property must be in writing and signed to “avoid fraud”. It also required that documents of the courts be signed and dated; and

(v) In 1707, Queen Anne introduced an act (6Ann.c.35) whereby all Wills must be registered to be valid in law. A further act in the following year (7Ann.c.20) established the Registry of Deeds and Wills for London and southern England. By 1735, the same was created for Northern England (York) via (8Geo2.c.6); and

(vi) By 1752 (25Geo2.c.4), the registration of Wills along with deed and other conveyances out of London and southern England was to be managed by the Clerk of Pleas to the Kings Bench; and

(vii) In the same year in America, (25Geo2.c.6) the earliest principles of having to “prove” the validity of the Will or “Probate” was introduced, including the restrictions of the nature and relation of witnesses and interested parties. By 1789, the concept of Probate had been expanded as a Duty charged on all such conveyances (29Geo3.c.51); and

(viii) In 1800, under (39&40Geo3.c.98) King George III restricted the ability to permit Deeds or Wills from directing the use of Wills or Deeds for the accumulation of profits or produce over long periods (21 years), the

(ix) In 1815, under (54Geo3.c.192) King George III clarified that once duties and fees were paid, copyhold estates were permitted to be disposed by Will; and

(x) In 1837, Queen Victoria issued the Wills Act (1Vict.c.26) which fundamentally changed the nature of Wills and remains the key law to the present day.
