One who cannot law fully make a testament. 2. An infant, an insane person, or one civilly dead, cannot make a will, for want of capacity or understanding; a married woman cannot make such a will without some special authority, because she is under the power of her husband. They are all intestable. One who has not testamentary capacity; e.g., an infant, lunatic, or person civilly dead.
