Show Thinks He Can Draw Hla Will. One of the popular fallacies of the country Is the belief that no particular, skill Is needed to draw up a will. Ar- thur Train, writing In the American Magazine, says: "The most Important document that a maa Is usually called upon to execute during his entire lifetime life-time la his own will. It is generally, however, a transaction which he la perfectly content te let take care of Itself, hit or miss any old way. He supposes that If he writes down 'what he wants done with his property,' signs It, and gets somebody to witness It, that his heirs, executors, administrators adminis-trators and assigns will go blithely on their way, rejoicing forever. It Is almost al-most Impossible to convince people that there is really any care necessary to drawing a will. Yet, even If a will is properly drawn, there are nine chances out of ten that, unless the attorney at-torney watches with eagle eye, It will not be legally signed and witnessed." |
