Freedom of testation, is the power of a person to choose the heir(s) of her/his properties upon her/his death. This especially implies the freedom of making provision for charity.

After the Norman conquest of England, The Church succeeded in allowing a person to leave part of his property to the church to use them as funds for its activities. This was a turning point in its history, which took a long time to develop to its present day form.[1]
