A Will and Testament is a formal oral and/or written declaration, memoralization, deed and trust agreement by which a man or woman or higher order (level 6) life form testifies before witnesses as to their true intention and volition regarding the management of his or her accumulative estate, the disposition of rights and property and the disposal of such rights and property upon their physical death.

By definition a Will and Testament is two key concepts combined into one instrument:

(i) A valid Testament (from Latin testamentum) being an auricular (spoken) testimony before several witnesses as to the true intention and volition of a man or woman as first conceived as a formal legal process more than 4,000 years ago. Thus a valid Testament is "proof" of the mind of a man or woman; and

(ii) A valid Will being the written and envoked testimony of a person as to their intentions and volition in relation to certain Rights, Powers, Authority and Property attributed to one or more persons of the same name as a formal legal process invented less than 400 years ago. Thus a valid Will is "proof" of the mind of a person.

There exists four (4) key Operational Functions of a valid Will and Testament being a Formal Declaration, a Memorial, a Deed and a Trust Agreement:

(i) As a Formal Declaration a valid Will and Testament is a written statement asserting one or more Rights and making one or more Claims, then duly signed and executed by the one writing the declaration and witnessed by witnesses applying their signature – The Will part; and

(ii) As a Memorial, a valid Will and Testament is a recording of its auricular expression – that is – its speaking and witnessing by others as having heard the spoken expression of the testament- The Testament part; and

(iii) As a Deed, a valid Will and Testament is a written instrument granting, donating, assigning or delegating one or more Rights to others, duly signed, executed, witnessed and sealed as proof of authority to grant such Rights- The Deed part; and

(iv) As a Trust Agreement a valid Will and Testament is a written trust agreement giving clear instructions and terms to any fiduciary appointments once the trust is in effect (usually when the trustee(s) have been appointed).

The following are the seventeen (17) standard elements expected of a valid Will and Testament in accord to the norms of Civilized Society under Rule of Law, Justice and Due Process being Aetatem Validam, Verba Mea, Vocem Meam, Animus Testandi, Compos Mentis, Incipit, Quod Vocatur, Recitatio, Iura Habeam, Titulum Habeam, Executorem Meum, Funeris Meum, Memoriam Meum, Regulis Bona, Operibus Bonis, Decretio and Testificatio:

(i) Aetatem Validam ("the right/legitimate age") means the one making the Will and Testament known as the "Testator" formally acknowledges they are of the minimum age accepted for the completion and pronouncement of such an important instrument; and

(ii) Verba Mea ("in my own words") means the Testator formally acknowledges the Will is a true representation of their intention, free from threat, intimitation, duress or promise; and

(iii) Vocem Meam ("my (own) voice") means the Testator formally acknowledges the Testament is literally "their own voice" and a true representation of their intention and is spoken free from threat, intimitation, duress or promise; and

(iv) Animus Testandi ("the intention to testify") means the Testator formally acknowledges that he/she fully intends the instrument and/or any vocalization to be known as their valid Will and Testament and is capable of demonstrating such competent intention; and

(v) Compos Mentis ("of sound mind") means the Testator formally acknowledges he/she is of sound mind, capable of reason and moral judgment and therefore capable of not only making decisions but capable of perceiving the consequences of such decisions or actions; and

(vi) Incipit ("it begins") means the opening prayer and petition of a sacred instrument between heaven and earth and by tradition the first words of any sacred covenant or deed from the 8th Century CE; and

(vii) Quod Vocatur ("that which is called/named") means the name of the instrument (e.g. Voluntatem Et Testamentum as the prescribed form of a valid Will and Testament under One Heaven); and

(viii) Recitatio (“recitation, reading, pronouncement”) means the statements and terms of the Will and Testament; and

(ix) Iura Habeam ("I have Rights") means the Testator expresses and asserts their Rights, Powers and Authority, particularly to possess, own and hold certain title, property and uses; and

(x) Titulum Habeam ("I have title") means the Testator expresses and asserts the description of records, certificates, registers or ledgers one or more titles of possession, ownership and use in accord with the Rights, Powers and Authority previously expressed; and

(xi) Executorem Meum ("my (general) executor") means the Testator nominates at least one executor to be granted the power and authority by the testator to administer their various estates (living and/or deceased) upon some significant event that causes the executor to be appointed (such as physical death or formal investiture in the case of living estates); and

(xii) Funeris Meum ("my funeral") means the Testator nominates the essential arrangements of their own funeral service; and

(xiii) Memoriam Meum ("my memorial") means the Testator nominates how he or she wishes his memory to be honored in monument and epitaph; and

(xiv) Regulis Bona ("good rules (of estate)") means the Testator expresses the specific rules of proper administration of the Estate; and

(xv) Operibus Bonis ("good works (of estate)") means the Testator names one or more Beneficiaries who are granted the Rights to use certain property of the estate as a sign of charitable and good works; and

(xvi) Decretio (“decree, decision, judgment, resolution, principle”) means a formal statement at the end of the Will and Testament by the Testator that the instrument had been handed (delivered) to become public notice also known as “patenting”. Thus the phrase “IN WITNESS WHEREOF, We have hereunto set Our hand and seal, and caused these, Our Letters, to be made Patent” with patent meaning public notice; and

(xvii) Testificatio (“attestation, proof”) means a formal attestation at the very end of the Will and Testament which may also include separate written attestation by two or more witnesses that it is the wishes and intentions of the Testator reflected in the Will and Testament through the Latin phrase (by tradition since the 8th Century) beginning with “Teste me ipso apud” <> then date in Latin meaning “Witness myself at the place <> date”.

All men and women who have acknowledged in good faith, good character and good conscience their True Trust in the Office of Man or Office of Woman have the Absolute Natural Right known as Ius Naturale Testamentum to make, ordain, publish and pronounce their Will and Testament. Any rule, law or edict that seeks to deny, obstruct, weaken or obfuscate such right is automatically null and void from the beginning and cannot be law.

The present covenant recognizes the prescribed form known as the Voluntatem Et Testamentum as the specific form by which a member of One Heaven holding either the Office of Man or Office of Woman perfects their Will and Testament in accord with the present sacred Covenant and the Rights and Obligations prescribed herein.

The Will and Testament through the form of Voluntatem Et Testamentum is to the personality (person) of a Superior Estate, the physical mind and the will of the person and the will of all legal persons derived from the existence of the man or woman. It is both a sacred prayer and sacred scripture to be respected and honored by all persons who claim an office by sacred oath or vow. It is also a sacred Covenant and bond between a man or woman in whose name the Will and Testament exists and the Divine Creator. It is an unbreakable covenant by the man or woman who is the grantor or testator.

When such a Will and Testament bears witness to the Covenant of One Heaven and the Canons of Law of One Heaven through the form of Voluntatem Et Testamentum, then: It is the most solemn, most sacred covenant in history; and It is an unbreakable bond between heaven and earth and no power, no force, no spirit, no corporation, no person or entity can break that bond; and no power exists in heaven that can break such a sacred bond. One gives existence and credence to the other. Such a valid Will and Testament and the present Covenant of One Heaven are two parts, the lock and key, that when united cannot be broken.

However, where a man or woman claiming either the Office of Man or Office of Woman deliberately and willingly repudiates some or all of the present sacred Covenant; or asserts one or more Prohibited Rights for their own advantage then any such associated Will and Testament and associated estate and trust documents, whether or not such prescribed form as Voluntatem et Testamentum are used, therefore has no basis of covenant, or bond with One Heaven or the present sacred Covenant.

The elements of the valid and prescribed form of Voluntatem Et Testamentum fully comply with the seventeen (17) standard elements of a Will and Testament. Furthermore, the form of Voluntatem Et Testament demonstrates some additional elements being: Incipit Perfectum, Decem Praecepta, Triginta Tres Gradibus:

(i) Incipit Perfectum (“The Perfect Beginning”) is the Latin words in majuscule (upper case) at the beginning of the document, namely: IN NOMINE UNIUS VERUM DIVINI CREATORIS, DOMINUS OMNIA, OMNES LEX, OMNES VITA, ET OMNES PECUNIA IURIBUS: meaning IN THE NAME OF ONE TRUE DIVINE CREATOR, LORD OF ALL, ALL LAW, ALL LIFE AND ALL PROPERTY AND RIGHTS; and

(ii) Decem Praecepta (“The Ten Commandments”) being the ten (10) paragraphs beginning with the words FIRST, SECOND, THIRD representing the foundations of law of any and all estates and the Preamble to the Voluntatem Et Testamentum; and

(iii) Triginta Tres Gradibus (“The Thirty Three Degrees”) being the thirty three steps, instructions and grades to perfection of the Voluntatem Et Testamentum of the Tenth Commandment.

The “Ten Commandments” known as the Decem Praecepta are the ten (10) paragraphs beginning with the words FIRST, SECOND, THIRD of the Voluntatem Et Testamentum. These Ten Commandments form the greater Preamble and clearly outline the intentions of the Will and Testament, the sources of authority, recognition and operation of the Instrument. Furthermore, the Decem Praecepta demonstrates that the Voluntatem Et Testamentum is founded on the same foundation stone as all valid Western-Roman Law that honors the Rule of Law, Justice and Due Process. The Ten Commandments are:

(i) The FIRST Commandment expresses the Divine Commission granted to the Testator and universal respect to the laws of the Divine and equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “Thou shalt not kill”(Ex 20.13) and recognizes that one who completes a Ucadian conforming Will and Testament is a Divine Immortal Spirit; and

(ii) The SECOND commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “Thou shalt not bear false witness” (Ex 20.16) and recognizes a mandatory feature of a valid Will and Testament that requires the testator to affirm they are “sound of mind”, that the instrument is intended to be a Will and Testament explicitly and that it was completed without duress; and

(iii) The THIRD commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “Thou shalt not commit adultery” (Ex 20.14) and recognizes the unity as like “matrimony” between the Covenant of One Heaven representing “collective awareness” and the Will and Testament representing “unique awareness” bound together to form “Unique Collective Awareness”; and

(iv) The FOURTH commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament- “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy” (Ex 20.8) and recognizes our “Holy Commission” as defined through our Will and Testament validating the Charter of the Globe Union and Ucadia Societies; and

(v) The FIFTH commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “Thou shalt not steal” (Ex 20.15) and affirms and asserts the Rights, Powers and Authority granted to the Testator and that the Testator seeks nothing other than what is rightfully granted to them by the Divine Creator; and

(vi) The SIXTH commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “You shall not make for yourself an image” (Ex 20.4) and confirms the intention to appoint a competent and honorable General Executor and Guardian; and

(vii) The SEVENTH commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “Honor your father and your mother” (Ex 20.12) and recognizes the perpetuity of the estate and the lawful management and administration of the estate by the duly appointed General Executor and Guardian; and

(viii) The EIGHTH commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “Thou shalt not misuse the name” (Ex 20.7) and recognizes the complete Recital of terms of the Voluntatem Et Testamentum; and

(ix) The NINTH commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors house…wife…servant” (Ex 20.17) and confirms that no personal property of any estate associated with the Testator is permitted to be used for the aid of any debts and legacies except through written authority of the General Executor and Guardian; and

(x) The TENTH commandment equates to the ancient commandment of the Old Testament “You shall have no others before me” (Ex 20.3) and expresses the terms and management of the estate through thirty three degrees.

All Officers, Fiduciaries and Agents duly appointed through the prescribed form of a Voluntatem Et Testament are by definition subject to the laws and exemplary conduct of Good Faith, Good Character and Good Conscience expected of such appointments.

An Officer ceases to hold any authority and office the moment they are in fundamental breach of their envoked obligations and fail to immediately rectify such breach, whether or not public notice is given or any form of claim of controversy, charge, complaint is brought forward.

Any person who is in breach of the exemplary conduct of Good Faith, Good Character and Good Conscience expected of one appointed by sacred instrument may be prosecuted under the laws of a foreign entity or the laws of Ucadia and the appropriate Union, or both.

Any Estate, Company, Corporation, Association, Entity  or Trust duly formed under the prescribed form of a Voluntatem et Testament in accord with the terms of the present sacred Covenant is bound to honor the highest standard of laws of Ucadia and the laws of any associated foreign state with whom such an entity may or may not be registered.

Any Estate, Company, Corporation, Association, Entity or Trust in material breach of its mandated duties may be prosecuted under the laws of a foreign entity or the laws of Ucadia and the appropriate Union, or both.

Any Estate, Company, Corporation, Association, Entity or Trust that wilfully and deliberately asserts a Prohibited Right for its advantage or seeks to claim, assert, register or claim the name Ucadia, or any symbol, mark, image, icon, value in contradiction to the present Covenant is automatically null and void, having no legitimate recognition or validity by the present sacred Covenant, even if such validity, or registration or existence is claimed.

Any Estate, Company, Corporation, Association, Entity or Trust by its wilful and deliberate actions that is illegitimate also means any and all such instruments, documents, notices and forms produced by it are without any legitimacy or validity and are null and void ab initio (from the beginning).

Any material changes to the prescribed form of Voluntatem et Testamentum beyond the essential customization of particulars through the removal, or addition or significant re-writing of commandments or degrees is specifically prohibited.

Any such unauthorized changes render the authority, power and effect of the Voluntatem Et Testamentum null and void. Futhermore, any promotion of such unauthorized changes is considered a solemn offence against the present Covenant and the laws of Ucadia.
