The 1752 will is from January, though, so months before the wedding. Of course, he could have had the planned costs in mind (and the fact that Heinrich already got Rheinsberg), but I have no idea how set all of it was at that point.
Also, I don't know about the 1769 will, but the first one was strictly confidential - at least that's what Fritz wrote to EC's brother Karl, whom he made executor of the will: „[...] I am at the same time placing in your hands a copy of the will, as I have had it deposited in the archives with the usual formalities, begging you not to communicate it to anyone, to avoid all jealousy and family quarrels, to which it could give rise, all the more so since I have not shown it to a living soul."
