Which of the following describes the Delaware rule for "sound and disposing mind and memory" in regard to capacity?

The phrase "sound and disposing mind and memory" is a legal standard used to evaluate an individual's capacity to make a valid will. In Delaware, and generally in many jurisdictions, this standard requires that a testator (the person making the will) be capable of exercising thought, reflection, and judgment regarding the decisions they are making about the distribution of their property after death.

This capacity involves understanding the nature and extent of their assets, the objects of their bounty (such as family members or others who might inherit), and the implications of their decisions as reflected in the will. Such reasoning and mental clarity ensure that the wishes expressed in the will reflect the testator's true intentions.

In contrast, the other options do not capture the essence of the capacity required for will-making. Understanding the religious implications (first choice) doesn’t directly relate to one's capacity to dispose of estate assets. Being free from financial obligations (third choice) is not a requirement for testamentary capacity, as a person can still be solvent or insolvency and validly make a will. Lastly, prior experience with estate planning (fourth choice) is not necessary; even an individual without such experience can possess the necessary mental faculties to create a valid will.
