Thanks all friends. ================ Nuncupative will: an oral will declared or dictated by the Testator in his last sickness before a sufficient number of witness, which will afterwards is put into writing. A will made by the verbal declaration of the Testator, and usually dependent merely on the oral testimony of the witnesses for proof. Citation: Henry Campbell Black, "Black's Law Dictionary" (West Publishing Co., St. Paul, Minn.: 1968) P.S. In North Carolina a nuncupative will could only dispose of personal property not real estate.
