Selected
to be/is of sound mind and memory
It's "to be of..." rather than "in".
See http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/sound mind and...
sound mind and memory
n. having an understanding of one's actions and reasonable knowledge of one's family, possessions and surroundings. This is a phrase often included in the introductory paragraph of a will in which the testator (writer of the will) declares that he/she is "of sound mind and memory." The general test is whether the person making the will understood: a) the meaning and effect of the will, b) what the person owned (more or less), and c) the "natural objects of his/her bounty," meaning the immediate family and any other particularly close relatives or friends to whom he/she might leave things.

being (is) of sound mind and disposing memory
This is the usual phrasing in a will (I just made mine out again and that's what is says)

Explanation of "disposing memory":
6. Wills -- testamentary capacity -- requirements. -- Every person of sound mind and disposing memory has the untrammeled right to dispose of his or her property by will as he or she pleases; this means that if the maker of a will has sufficient mental capacity to retain in her memory, without prompting, the extent and condition of her property and to comprehend how she is disposing of it, to whom, and upon what consideration, then she possesses sufficient mental capacity to execute the will; the relevant inquiry is not the mental capacity of the testator before or after a challenged will is signed, but rather the level of capacity at the time the will was signed.
