Question
Do wills typically contain statements of
religious belief?

Answer
Not typically. A will is a legal document dealing
with the transfer of assets after your death. As
such, it is nowadays rare for a person to express
religious sentiments within a will. That being
said, historically, wills often used religious
wording.

Answer(contd)
Also, sometimes a person will indicate in a will
that he or she wishes to have a particular form
of religious funeral. In some cases, a person
will indicate in a will that he or she wishes for
children to be placed with particular guardians,
and the motivation for this may be religious in
nature. As well, sometimes people will leave
gifts to religious charities.
