DRAWING UP THE DOCUMENT. Rulss by a Probate Law Authority That Toll Just What to Do and What Not to Do In Making a Last Tsstamant Sscurs in Its Provisions, "More than U7 i*m- font of Americans tlic without making n will," any* l'ml erlik llalse.v in ilio American Maga zine. " * 1 1 ?? \ t? you made yOuraV It Is conceded by legal authorities that It Is the cluty ??f every person to leav?> a written will In dottier that the estate may bo closed, the property divided among the proper bcnoflclarlea nud that the family or friend? uiqy have tho benefits of, tho property, yet more than 80 per cent of tho holders of valu able property neglect this duty "The old supers! it Ion that the man who makes a will writes his death warrant Is one of tho chief causes of delay In making proper provision for the distribution of any estate after death. It is hard to calculate what percentage of men and women believe this superstition, because tho majority will deny it. Court experts know that the percentage Is largo. Yet life in auranco figures, taken In comparison with dales on wills, seem to show that instead of being correct the supersti tion Is without busts and that m<m who have made wills have lived lohger than the average." Charles S. Cutting, who la one of America's foremost authorities on pro bate law, gives tho following directions for making a safe will that can't be broken : Before you consult anybody decide how you propose to leave your prop erty. If the disposition to be made Is sim ple any ordinarily skilled jwrson can draw your will. If your will Is complicated. Including trusts, life estates and so forth, employ the most skilled draftsman within your acquaintance. I)o as your legal adviser tells you as to matters concerning which there may be doubt. Be sure to comply with all formali ties required by the statute, especially tho following: Subscribe your name to the will in the presence of witnesses. Declare It to be your will In their presence. Have at least two witnesses sign in your presence. If you sign by mark or for any rea son are unable to write your name have at least three witnesses to the fact of your signing by mark or that you requested some other person to write your name. Ask people who have long known you and who have no doubt as to your HHnity to be witnesses. rim'e your win In the custody or some perfectly responsible person or corporation or in some receptacle, ns a ; safety deposit vault, which cannot be opened after your dentil without the presence of public officials. Remember that any provision you make for your wife is an ofl'er to her to purchase from her her statutory rights aad that If she chooses she may reject your offer and take under the statute. Don't put off making a wlil until you arc ill and your disinherited relatives will say that your niiml is affected. l>on't believe that making your will will hasten your death. In states where the statutes give ? widow dower only in her husband's real estate don't get the idea tha* she will be the owner In fee of one-third of his realty.' Don't attempt to tie up your cstato for a long period, providing for ulti mate distribution in the distant future. Courts nre very apt to find ways to construe such a will contrary to your intention. Don't let your will be the vehicle of conveying to i>osterity your hatred or dislike of individuals. If you are wealthy and have provid ed well for your family don't forget the obligation you owe to the com munity. Don't attempt to change your will after it is written and witnessed by drawing lines across certain portions of it and writing in other directions. Such attempts will fail. Don't make a nonresident of your state executor of your will. Many stales will not permit him to act. Don't have the man you selected as executor sign as a witness. It may dis qualify him. Don't allow nny legatee or devisee In your will to sign as a witness. * If he does he may lose his legacy or devise. If you wish to add a codicil to your w in don't fall to have the codicil refer unmistakably to the will and to attach the codicil thereto physically. Don't hesitate to obange your will by codicil or otherwise whenever you see fit Impossible Onss. "He was a born fisherman and could ? wesr to the truth."
