testators
Legacy document creators
Testators are people who have made wills—legal documents specifying how their property should be distributed after death.
The term appears mainly in legal contexts: The testators named their children as primary beneficiaries.
A person becomes a testator upon executing a valid will, regardless of whether they're still living.
