V, TARR, Artist Gedarville, Ohio W HAT DO YOU KNt>W 4 ABOUT THE MAKING j OF YOUR W ILL? Th* following is some good advice f as handed out by a probate judge in a neighboring county as to making wills, something most people put off until the last minute, unless it is pro. viding a burigl place which is usually left to the family. The making of a will is no small matter whether your estate is large or fmall, Ohio makes certain provisions as protection to widows and children where there is no will hut if certain bequests are do* sired there should be care in drawing the document. Some of the "Do’s” are as follows. Before you consult anybody, make up your own minds* to how you pro pose to leave your property. I t the disposition to be made is simple, such as leaving everything to your wife or your children in equa parts, any skilled person can draw your will. . If your will is complicated, includ­ ing trusts, life estates and so forth employ the most skilled attorney within your acquaintance, and your legatees and devisees will call you blessed. , Do as your legal adviser tells you a* to matters concerning which there may be doubt, ' Be sure .to comply with all formal! ties required by the- statute, Especi­ ally the following; Subscribe your name to the will in the presence of witnesses. Declare it to be your will in their presence. ' Have at lease two witnesses in your presence, ‘ If you sign by mark, or for any ■reason are unable to sign 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 Sanity to be witnesses to your. will. Place your wili in the custody of some perfectly responsible person, or with the probate court, or in some re­ ceptacle, as a safety vault, which cannot fife opened after your death without .the presence of one of the officers, of the bank. Remember that any provisions you make for your wife is an offer to her to purchase- from her her statutory rights, and .that if she chooses she may reject your offer and take under the statute. . The following are some “Dpn’t§”.- Do not put off making your wilt until you ate ill and your dis-inher- itejLrelatives_wi]Lsay- th a t your- mind- if affected. Don’t believe that making your will will hasten your death. In Ohio the statutes give a widow dower only in her husband's real es­ tate where there are direct heirs, so don’t get the- idea that she will be the owner in fee simple of one-third of his realty. Don’t attempt to tie up your estate for a long period, providing for ulti­ mate distribution in the distant fu­ ture. Courts are very apt to fihd ways to construe such a will contrary to your intention. Don’t let your will be the vehicle of conveying to posterity your hatred or dislike of individuals. If you are wealthy and have pro­ vided well for your family, don’t for­ get the obligation you ow^,. to the community in which you have ac­ quired your fortune. Don't attempt .to change your will after it is written and witnessed, by drawing linis across certain portions of it and writing in other directions. Such attempts will fail. Don’t make a non-resident of this state exeentor of your will, as he will not be permitted to act. • Don’t have the man you select as executor sigh as a witness. It may disqualify him. Don’t allow any legatee or devisee , m your will to sign as a witness. If j he does he may lose his legacy or de- j vise, | If you wish to add a codicil to your I will, don’t fail* to have the codicil re­ fer unmistakably to the will and to attach the codicil thereto physically. Don’t hesitate to change your will by codicil or otherwise- whenever you see fit. WHAT SHALL I GIVE?
