To dig the dust enclosed here.
Blest be the man that spares these stones,And curst be he that moves my bones. 

15. What did his will state ?

Shakespeare's will (made on March 25, 1616) is a long and detailed document. It entailed his quite ample property on the male heirs of his elder daughter, Susanna.

As an afterthought, he bequeathed his "second-best bed" to his wife; but no one can be certain what this notorious legacy means.

The testator's signatures to the will are apparently in a shaky hand. Perhaps Shakespeare was already ill.
