What does "Breaking Someone's Will" mean?

Dang--I guess I have seen too many Star Trek episodes.  A really good example of breaking the will (well almost) is the one with Piccard and the nasty Cardassian.  There are 3 lights in the room.  The cardassian tortures Picard, says he's been abandoned, etc., and he says there are 4 lights.  Piccard begins to loose it.  He is about to asnwer "4 lights" when Riker shows up and saves his butt.  When you break someone's will, you are in complete control of what they believe, wheter it has any bearing in reality at all.  Breaking someone's will is totaly evil and vile, and consequently it happens in the marines all the time.  The military breaks you down and reprograms who you are in the image of what they need you to be.  It involves mass humiliation and degredation.  It involves sleep deprivation, cleaning toilets, being given impossible tasks where they know you will fail.  Any spirit of challenge in the person, the person's will to exert your own personal reality on the world is crushed.  Then you are just putty in the hands of the people in authority.  (Note: that's why they must get really young guys to join up.  Trying to brain-wash a 30 year old to have the totally blind devotion to the commanding officer--it would never happen.)\n\nAfter you hve been broken down and reformed in the military image, you get to dish out that same punishment on the lower ranks.  It is kind of sicko, but I guess it works.....

Thanks for asking the question. I never really thought about a will until I saw the question. Hope you have a lot of good answers:) This would help me too.

The person must have capacity to make a will,\nThe will must be legible, and\nThe provisions of the will must be legal and known to the testator.

It depends on how the will was written.

Breaking someone's confidential matter.

It's called Good Will.

No, I don't think so! The point is, is that you broke the law. It may be considered but just because your a good person, it doesn't mean that you may be go.

A lawyer works for the person who made the will.  If that person told the lawyer to call, then the lawyer did his job.  If the lawyer called w/o the permission of the person who made the will, then this lawyer could be taken before the ethics board and be disbarred.

It's not a clear question.  Binding on whom???  I think that if you are bequeathed something in someone else's will, you can reject it.

Not at all. It's called freedom of will, and you.. sorry, I mean your friend... are free to do what they want.

The complications lie in the clauses which presume that the will-writer who dies first will be predeceased by the partner who proves to be the surviving partner.\n\nMy understanding is that those clauses are rendered invalid.\n\nIt is best to have two sections of a will. "if I survive my partner" and "if my partner survives me" to avoid these difficulties arising.

It means that you petition the judge to release you before your sentence has finished. The circumstances of how and when this can be done vary from state to state.

I understand exactly where you are coming from! I mean, its sounds kind of silly that people claim "its the will of God" when they are making decisions. How would they know?? It's not like God told them! Yet, being a christian myself, what "doing the will of God" means in my life is simply following the principles laid down in the bible, and following the way Jesus himself lived. When you do these things, the decisions of everyday life become trivial, because you are so "in tune" with the bible and the way God wants you to be living. Prayer is also a huge part of knowing how to make decisions. Unfortunately, not many christians live this way, and no matter how hard we try, its impossible to live perfectly, but we can only try our best. Hope this helps! God bless you. :)

It's slang, actually.\n\n"Go away, dude! I'm with someone else. Go die far.  Now, we go our separate ways."\nIt's not a literal translation, I tried to keep the sense and the meaning. Basically, this person is  ending a relationship with someone who keeps insisting.

Always!  My word is my bond and I do not break it unless it is something out of my control, such as hospitalization.  I always keep my word, always!  I will not make a promise I have no intention of fulfilling. That has always been the way I am and always how I will be. A promise isn't something you do make if you have no intention of fulfilling just to get someone off your back. A promise is a personal commitment that you are honor-bound to keep. But in this day and age honor has fallen by the wayside and no one seems to believe in it anymore. Sad thing. That stance has caused me no end of trouble with people because I expect them to uphold their promises to me as well. Most people any more don't seem to do that. It has caused me to lose a great many friends who think nothing of promising something they have no intention of fulfilling it.  It seems funny that those who have no honor want to use it against those of us that do! Ironic that. The feel nothing when it comes to breaking their word but expect everyone else to keep theirs. How ironic.

After your death, you have no control over who contests, unless you stipulate that anyone contesting your wishes (will) should automatically get nothing (I think you can do that). But as far as I know you could leave a person any amount, even a penny.

It means giving up control of the person - on purpose because you meant to and letting the other person say what will happen to the person.  You're out of it and you want to be and they want you to be.
