2. There are no specific health conditions for making a will and even a healthy person can get his will ready with the help of lawyers.
3. Your friend is having some serious heart issues and requires care at a heart center. Without a complete evaluation, the future course of his condition cannot be commented up on. However he requires to be in hospital for 5 days or longer. Making a will is always encouraged if it will not cause any stress on his health.
