A will is a legal document stating how a person's property is to be divided after he or she dies.

Dated March 25, 1616, Shakespeare's will is kept in the National Archives. In his will, he famously left his wife Anne the second-best bed.

There are only 6 known signatures by Shakespeare. What makes Shakespeare's will so special is that it is signed 3 times.
