Jacob has been quite ill. when three of his neighbors come to visit one day, he tells them that he is dying and that he wants them to witness his oral will. in some states, he can validly dispose of his personal property by his witnessed, oral statements.

The statement is true. An oral will is not generally honored by several states. These wills are also called noncupative or deathbed wish and wishes carried out through this form should be proven even under jurisdictions and state laws that recognize them. There should be 2 or 3 witnesses. They should also provide the same narrative for the will to be awarded, 

True. you know, tools like shovels.
