An oral will spoken by a testator, usually in anticipation of imminent death, and later reduced to writing; often limited in enforceability.

• A. Nuncupative will
• B. Augmented estate
• C. Power of attorney
• D. Solemn probate

Answer: (A)

Nuncupative will refers to an oral testament spoken by the testator, usually when death is imminent, that is later reduced to writing. This type of will is recognized in some jurisdictions but is subject to strict limitations, which is why it’s often only partly enforceable. The oral declaration typically must be witnessed and then reduced to writing within a short time, and many places limit its validity to personal property or require specific formalities to be met. Real property, for example, is rarely if ever transferrable by an oral will, and the overall enforceability depends on meeting these heightened requirements after death.

The other options don’t fit because they refer to different concepts: an augmented estate is about adding assets for purposes like an elective share; a power of attorney is a document naming someone to handle affairs, not a will; and solemn probate describes the probate process itself, not a type of will.
