English term or phrase: we signe here believing "so and so" to be of sound mind at the time of signing
I've been at this doc since last night. I have unravelled one of the more convoluted wills of my entire career and now I can't think of the "frase cajonera" of preference in Spa for Spain for this, the English version.

Sitting here drawing a big fat blank. It's weird.

Someone, please refresh what's left of my mind

Thanks in advance

Andrea, thanks again. I can always count on you as well as the colleagues who kindly take time to help the addled such as I.
Now, believe it or not I went to the glossary and typed in "sane" and "mind" instead of sound mind. I got nothing, of course. I need a break and a pint of ale!
Thanks again.
