Didn't the 1E AD&D sheets have a last will & testament section too?

I do believe you're right. I think Necromancer Games has such a section on their "old school" style character sheet that is available for downloadon their site.

Yes they did. Those, I think yellow ones? Ivoryish maybe? Well, whatever color, yes there were wills and I always had them filled out. Granted I was like 9 or 10 so they were always left to my other PCs... even one's on other campaigns, heh!
 

Knock Knock.
"Hello? Ak! Kobolds!!"
"Wait! Hold up! We're not here to hurt you!"
"Um, okay... what do you want?"
"We, uh... kinda killed your brother Falzbard in our dungeon."
"Wha... what?!? You bastards!"
"I'm sorry but he did know the dangers."
"Just... go... away."
"Um..."
"What?"
"He wanted you to have this."
 

Mostly clerics and paladins in my games, almost everything going back to the church/god.

I have even had a player try to claim said goods! Also ran a game were the sword and armor that was found in a game was considered belonging to dwarf clan and they laided claim to it. :)

A few years back, I ran a WEG Star Wars campaign that lasted a few years. When one of the characters died (the starfighter pilot), it was quite a blow to everyone - after all, we had spent several hundred hours with these characters, and it was the only PC death of the campaign.

After the session, I asked the (uncharacteristically speechless) player if he wanted to assume his character had drafted a will - in particular, a holographic recording (a la Tasha Yar from ST:TNG). He jumped at the idea.

The next session led up to the funeral, at which the other players read the eulogies they had written during the intervening week. (A player who had left the campaign due to a move even sent his in for his now-NPC character to read.) After that, the deceased character's R2 droid asked the other PCs to a private meeting. The holo-projector fired up, and the player of the deceased character appeared and read the will. It was amazing.

Though tragic (in part because it was the beginning of the end of the campaign), that character's death led to the most emotional role-playing experience any of us has ever had.

That will document was excellent: formal and flexible! Thanks!

No prob. Keep in mind it is still applicable today, as long as you get it ratified by a lawyer.

Still, I think the whole will is a bit overdone for a campaign setting.
