    Consideration means both sides need to give something in order for a contact to be formed. Asking “can I have x”, and the other side saying “yes” is not a contract because there is no consideration. This is day 1 law school Contracts stuff.

    A will requires a document and cannot be formed orally except in very specific circumstances that do not apply here.
