Different types of gifts in a will

In contrast to a gift that is distributed while the person is still alive is referred to as an "inter vivos gift", a gift that is distributed through a will after death is known as "testamentary gift". Testamentary gifts can be revocable (revoked or withdrawn at the request of the donor) and/or have conditions placed on the gift. There are different types of testamentary gifts that you may make in your will, broadly classified based on how the gift is given away.
