Islamic last will and testament : changes in the forms of last will

Fatawa Question

Assalaamu Alaikum, I am writing regarding the last will and testament that you recently sent to the Muslim community of Knoxville (may Allah reward you for that). One brother who is helping with the document modifications had the following questions : 1) May we replace 'ISNA' with 'MCK' throughout the document as the final authority if the executor is not available or mentioned ? 2) All charitable contributions--can they be made to MCK instead of ISNA ? 3) May we change seperability from ISNA to MCK ? 4) May we remove case 9 and the comments regarding a second wife ? Or is this necessary to cover all our bases as an 'Islamic' will ? If you could give us your feedback on these matters, we would greatly appreciate it. May Allah reward you for your time and effort. Wassalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah, Layla
