Brief Answer:
Making a will is recommended as it does not affect his health condition

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. The will is a legal document detailing the custody and care taker of assets of an individual after their death.

2. There are no specific health conditions for making a will and even a healthy person can get his will ready with the help of lawyers.

3. Your friend is having some serious heart issues and requires care at a heart center. Without a complete evaluation, the future course of his condition cannot be commented up on. However he requires to be in hospital for 5 days or longer. Making a will is always encouraged if it will not cause any stress on his health.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
