MAKING YOUR WILL
*?
Have You Put Off This Important
Task, and, if So, Why?
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
