You add the beneficiaries at witnesses.
Then you can add roles to change the sentences for witness beneficiaries.
For example:
I have a role Child/father:
[W] was mentioned in the will of his father, [P1] <and [P2]> <dated [D]> <[L]>
<[M0]>
This has a male/female sentence for her it reads will of her father.

This is sibling/brother
[W] was mentioned in the will of his brother, [P1] <and [P2]> <dated [D]> <[L]
> <[M0]>
and the female says her brother.

You can get more involved and instead of [W] use [R:Brother] but male/female
sentences work for me. I haven't found that I need to create e.g. R:Brother
in the case of wills.

I have an executor role, Aunt, Uncle, etc. You have to play around a bit to
find what your needs are. If the beneficiary inherits something I want to
mention, I add a note to their record.
