Q: Does "by my Will" in the following sentence from a Last Will belong to "dispose of" or to "I am entitled to dispose of"?
The sentence is from a Last Will from Nevada (USA) and it reads "It is my intention to dispose of all property which I am entitled to dispose of by my Will." So does the person want to dispose by their Will of all property […] or does the person want to dispose of all their property they is (legally) allowed to dispose of be a Will?
Thanks a lot for your help!

A: Your question does not make sense, as testators will usually dispose of all property owned at death. Powers over other non-estate assets might also be disposed of. Sometimes testators do die partially intestate, but all properties are still transferred either to the beneficiaries or the heirs. Hire a NV lawyer to read the entire Will in light of assets in the Estate for a correct answer, and possibly represent you.
