Last Will and Testament

of

<John James: Smith>

In the name of God and in the Blessed Name and Authority of Our Sovereign Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ, by His direction and Mandate and under His Warrant in His Testament, Amen;

I, <John James: Smith>, a Good and Lawful Christian Man, the Husband and Cover of <Sarah Mary: Smith>, a Good and Lawful Christian Woman and My Lawful Wife, now dwelling on a close of land in <Newburgh> county, in <Georgia> state, not a resident of a Federal Judicial District or The State of <Florida>, hereby make this My last Will and Testament, and revoke all prior wills;

I give, devise, and bequeath My entire Estate, corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments, real, personal, or mixed, wherever situated, or to which I may be or become in any way entitled, or have any interest, to My Lawful Christian Wife, <Sarah Mary: Smith>; and, if she does not survive me then to My <two> Christian children, <John Paul: Smith> and <Mary Hanah: Smith>; as My Heirs of descent according to the Testament of My Sovereign Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ, that they shall inherit My Estate according to His Law and Testament obtaining true allodial title, possession and ownership in My Estate by Inheritance;

Whereas, all Estates originate in and are of Inheritance vested by the Testament of Our Sovereign Testator Jesus, the Christ, because by Him all things consist and exist, so that His act establishing the original Estates and state is regarded the highest and paramount in Law, for all other estates are derivative from and dependent upon that original Act, quando diversi desiderantur actus ad aliquem statum perficiendum, plus respect lex acetum originalem, for unum quod que est id quod est principalius in ipso, causa et origo est materia negotii, and His reason for bringing His Estate into being always governs all within and every part derived from His Estate which He created, ratio legis est anima legis, and any act done against His Reason is not Lawful, nihil quod est contra rationem est licitum, the Policy of His Law for which His Estate is created governs all within and derived from it, for He is Perfection, and in Him is no corruption, evil, error, or sin; and,

Whereas, in that original Act, there is no Precept, Provision, or Warrant for a person dead in Law, i.e., a legal entity be it a natural person, corporation, or any other collection of natural persons, to have any Inheritance or any part of the Estate which is formed by, in, of or from the Original Act of Our Sovereign Testator Jesus, the Christ, which, when extended, evidences that any corporation, including but not limited to the State of <Georgia> or the United States, can have no part, i.e., a lien or shetar, in or over any Estate derived from that original Act; and,

Whereas, no Good and Lawful Christian possesses the original Title of any part of the Estate of Christ, but only freehold Title of succession through, of, in, and by Him as a sovereign Heir with Christ Jesus by His Testament, because the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; therefore no Executor can convey what he or she does not possess, nemo dat qui no habet, and there is no provision or Warrant in the Testament of Our Sovereign Testator, of which I and My Heirs are of several joint heirs and appointed co-Executors, to Lawfully grant, convey, transfer, derelict, trade, mortgage, pledge, exchange, Surrender or otherwise give up to a person dead in Law all or any part therein, nemo potest nisi quod de jure potest, and pacta quae contra leges constitutionesque vel contra bonos mores fiunt nullam vim habere, indubitati juris est; and,

Whereas, there is no presumption in Law which presumes that any Executor, a Good and Lawful Christian, has authority to encumber or waste the Estate of His Testator, so that it is incumbent upon those third persons, i.e. any corporation, who make engagements with the Testator's Executor to inquire of His authority to encumber or waste said Inheritance therein, which bind either Him, the Christian successor and possessor, or those in His or Her Christian family, My Self or My Heirs, to any obligations with any natural persons dead in Law; and,

Whereas, neither I nor My Heirs can make any engagement Lawful which prejudice either Our Testator, His Testament, or His Estate of Inheritance therein, which bind either Him or My Self or My Heirs to any obligations with any natural persons dead in Law;

I appoint My eldest Christian son, <John Paul: Smith>, to be personal representative of My Estate according to the Christian common Law, the Laws of God, and the Testament of My Sovereign Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ. If <John Paul> can not serve, then I appoint my Christian daughter and child <Mary Hanah: Smith> as My personal representative. The appointment of a personal representative in this, My last Will and Testament, shall not be taken or construed in any manner whatsoever as a direction that My estate be administered;

The personal representatives named in this Will shall have all additional Powers and protection granted to them by Christian common Law and the Laws of God;

My said Heirs to have and to hold, in the Name of My Sovereign Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ, Amen.

*Voluntas facit quod in testamento scriptum valeat*

Explanations of Christian common Law Maxims as used above:

Quando diversi desiderantur actus ad aliquem statum perficiendum, plus respect lex acetum originalem- When different acts are required to the formation of any estate, the law chiefly regards the original act. When to the perfection of an estate or interest divers acts or things are requisite, the law has more regard to the original act, for that is the fundamental part on which all the others are founded.

Unum quod que est id quod est principalius in ipso, causa et origo est materia negotii- That which is the principal part of a thing is the thing itself, the cause and origin being the substance of the thing; the cause and origin of a thing are a material part of it.

Ratio legis est anima legis- The reason of the law is the soul of the law.

Nihil quod est contra rationem est licitum- Nothing against reason is lawful.

Nemo dat qui no habet- No one can give who does not possess.

Nemo potest nisi quod de jure potest- No one is able to do a thing, unless he can do it lawfully.

Pacta quae contra leges constitutionesque vel contra bonos mores fiunt nullam vim habere, indubitati juris est- It is indubitable law that contracts against the laws, or good morals, have no force.

Voluntas ultima testatoris est perimplenda secundum veram intentionem suam- The will of the testator is to be fulfilled according to his true intention.

Voluntas facit quod in testamento scriptum valeat- The will of the testator gives validity to what is written in the will.
