Bahá’u’lláh affirms that in drawing up his will “a person hath full jurisdiction over his property”, since God has permitted the individual “to deal with that which He hath bestowed upon him in whatever manner he may desire”. Provisions are set out in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas for the distribution of inheritance in the case of intestacy.
…the Greatest Name of God can take various forms, all based on the word “Bahá”. The Bahá’ís in the East have implemented this injunction of the Aqdas by heading their wills with such phrases as “O Thou Glory of the All-Glorious”, “In the name of God, the All-Glorious” or “He is the All-Glorious” and the like.
