A will is simply a legal instruction about the disposition of an estate. A testament is a final statement, which may be philosophical rather than legal in nature. It is my last wish that my two sons, Larry and Harry, will finally stop fighting with each other and will accept each other as brothers and friends in a dangerous world. A house divided against itself will not stand. Do not weep for me, my life was a long and a productive one, and I am going to a better place. Farewell.

A will and a testament are essentially the same thing, referring to a legal document that outlines a person's wishes regarding the distribution of their assets and belongings after they pass away. In practice, "will" is more commonly used in legal contexts, while "testament" is a more formal or traditional term, often used in historical or religious contexts.
