In articulo mortis
The Latin locution in articulo mortis means "at the point of death", "at a critical moment or point" and, properly, "in the instant of death".
The phrase is taken from the ecclesiastical phrasebook and is used to indicate the actions carried out by a person when his life is in danger, i.e. on his deathbed, therefore with their exceptionality, irrefutability and non-postponability. In the legal field, the expression indicates the no longer refutable words said by a person shortly before dying.
