The structure of the presentation of the material of the article proceeds from the analysis of theoretical and legislative approaches to understanding the definition and legal nature of the will. In the course of this analysis, the question is raised about the nature of the will as a unilateral transaction, and the act of a citizen to dispose of his own property in the event of his death, as well as its distinguishing features from other unilateral transactions.
