[[Pope Pius XII]] signed his [[Will and testament|testament (will)]] on May 15, 1956, some fifteen months before his death. Unlike the testaments of his predecessor [[Pope Pius X|Pius X]] and successor [[Pope John Paul II|John Paul II]], it is a very short document, omitting names, details and designations of individual material belongings.
