Yes, I have seen some 17th century wills where legacies were held in trust for minors until they came of age (and I have seen that age specified to be as low as 14 for females and 16 for males), but I have also seen numerous examples in both England and Virginia where no restrictions were placed on legacies to children (who can be established independently to have been minors). In other words, I don't believe that there was a legal restriction on the testator. I have also seen several examples where the executor of the will (without adult supervision) was a minor, even though this was not customary, it did happen on occasion.
