    That’s pretty interesting. Thanks for the writeup!

    Any examples of petty matters that invalidated wills? My knowledge of law is mainly from some Police procedural books and TV shows.

      Using phrases slightly wrong was a common one - Roman wills had to be extremely formulaic, or they were invalid. Not mentioning someone who might inherit. Not giving relatives enough of a share of the inheritance. Mistaking someone’s legal status, even if their legal status did not directly impact the inheritance.
