Testator, testatrix:
A testator is a person who has written and executed a last will and testament that is in effect at the time of his/her death.[1] It is any “person who makes a will.”
A female testator is sometimes referred to as a testatrix, particularly in older cases. [Wikipedia]
The latter noted in my wife’s will today. Seeing as how at one time she made a living grading test papers in the area of English Composition, I was a trifle confused.
