Is in possession of a will which mentions the primary property (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

testate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a will which mentions the primary property' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'is in possession' is the wordplay.
'is in' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'possession' becomes 'estate' (estate is a kind of possession).
't'+'estate'='TESTATE'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for testate that I've seen before include "Person willing" , "Having made a legal will" , "With a legally valid will" , "Having made a valid will" , "Having made a last will and testament" .)
