Charles LounsberryIn the pocket of an old ragged coat belonging to an elderly man in Chicago, there was found, after his death, a will. According to Barbara Boyd, in the Washington Law Reporter, the man had been a lawyer, and the will was written in a firm clear hand on a few scraps of paper. So unusual was it, that it was sent to another attorney; and so impressed was he with its contents, that h
The last will and testament of Paul Newman has been admitted to probate. You can see a copy of his last will and codicil here (See “What Will Happen if I Die Without a Will?”). Mr. Newman directed that his race cars and airplanes be sold for fair market value with the proceeds [...]
A will (see “Advantages of a Will”) drafted under California law cannot violate public policy. For example, a San Diego probate court (see “Disadvantages of San Diego Probate”) will not enforce a clause that dictates the commission of a crime or specifies that the beneficiary must divorce a named spouse before a gift from the [...]
WHAT THE HELL IS THE DIFFERENCE? I've been trying to figure that out for a year now. We made a Will with the birth of our first son and now that we have baby #2, we have to add them onto it. Well, come to find out that our will would have had to have gone through probate court in the event of our deaths. Now, I understand this is all very morbid of a topic, but it came up b
DC Universe: Last Will and Testament is a one-shot Final Crisis tie-in issue. It is brought to us by Brad Meltzer. Since I dig most of Meltzer’s work and I am enjoying Final Crisis, I figured that it would be worth my while to give this one-shot a try. This issue is supposed to deal with various characters across the DCU as they prepare for what they believe is going to be the end of the world g

In his last years, Ben Graham distilled six decades of experience into ten criteria that would help the intelligent investor pick value stocks from the chaff of the market.The Ten:1. An earnings-to-price yield of twice the triple-A bond yield. The earnings yield is the reciprocal of the price earnings ratio.2. A price/earnings ratio down to four-tenths of the highest average P/E ratio the stock reached in the most recent five years. (Average P/E ratio is the average stock price for a year dividedby the earnings for that year.)3. A dividend yield of two-thirds of the triple-A bond yield.4. A stock price down to two-thirds of tangible book value per share.5. A stock price down to two-thirds of net current asset value—current assets less total debt.6. Total debt less than tangible book
Being of sound mind, I leave:To my wife, my overdraft at the bank. Maybe she can explain it.To my banker, my soul. He has the mortgage on it anyway,To my neighbor, my clown suit. He'll need it if he continues to farm as he has in the past.To the A.S.C.S., my grain bin. I was planning to let them take it next year anyway.To the county agent, 50 bushels of corn, to see if he can hit the market. I never could.To the junkman, all of my machinery. He's had his eye on it for years.To my undertaker, a special request: I want 6 implement and fertilizer dealers for my pallbearers. They're used to carrying me.To the grave digger, don't bother. The hole I'm in already should be big enough.
I have been rolling this one over for a bit now and wondering where it fits in my investment path. I just got back from a trip to Australia and probably 3-4 months ahead of it I asked myself the worst case scenario. What happens to my kids? What happens to my house, cars, cat, dog, bad paintings, gym socks, 1984 Casio calculator watch in my underwear drawer? Well, not all of those, but a few of them… So I decided to look into it a bit beforehand…
If you DON’T have a Will, odds are your kids will be taken care of. The court isn’t going to send them to a foster home if you have family willing to take them. The court is cold and cruel, but not that cruel. So if you have brothers, sisters, grandmothers willing to take them, they’ll probably be alright.
As far as your assets though, they can bounce around for months or even years till they find a proper home depending on what you’re worth. Principality.co.uk actually has a good flowchart of what will h
I LEAVE: To my wife: My overdraft at the bank. Maybe she can explain it. To my son: Equity on my car. Now he will have to go to work to meet the payments. To my banker: My soul. He has the mortgage on it anyway. To my neighbour: My clown suit. He will need it if he continues to farm as he has in the past. To the farm credit corporation: My unpaid bills. They took some real chances on me. I want to do something for them. To the junk man: All my machinery. He's had his eyes on it for years. To my undertaker: A special request. I want six implement dealers and six fertilizer dealers for pallbearers. They are used to carrying me. To the weatherman: Rain, hail and snow for the funeral please. No sense in having good weather now. To the grave digger: Don't bother. The hole I'm in now should be big enough. And lastly To the monument maker: Set up a jig for the epitaph. "Here lies a farmer who has now properly assumed all of his obligations."

Last Will And Testament of Elvis Presley
I, Elvis A. Presley, a resident and citizen of Shelby County, Tennessee, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this instrument to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills and codicils by me at any time heretofore made. Item I Debts, Expenses and Taxes I direct my Executor, hereinafter named, to pay all of my matured debts and my funeral expenses, as well as the costs and expenses of the administration of my estate, as soon after my death as practicable. I further direct that all estate, inheritance, transfer and succession taxes which are payable by reason under this
Writing your Last Will and Testament (Will) probably is one of the most important deeds you can ever done for your family and loved ones.
The consequences of one died without a Will are their assets will be frozen until the rightful beneficiaries obtained a Letter of Administration (LA) and must be granted before the Court could distribute the assets of the deceased. Without the LA, even the money of the deceased in the bank account cannot be touched by those who really need it, for example, to send children for education or for loan repayment. Hence, this will cause a lot of emotional stress, burden to the deceased family or beneficiaries.
Other than frozen assets, you hard-earned assets may not go to the people you want to inherit in the manner that you wish. Without a Will, the Law of your respective country will decide on who shall inherit your assets. For example, your sister-in-law may inherit part of your house together with your surviving spouse or children.
A proper Will will
Troy, you're a tough act to follow. It reminds me of when I was little and stopped inviting friends over because they all just ended up ditching me to play with my older, cooler sister Annie. I would have been upset if I didn't worship her with the rest of them.But the show must go on. Here's my will:If I go missing for more than a month, this will comes into effect. Most likely, I've just folded my hand and gone off to rot in Costa Rica but don't bother looking for me as I promise I won't want to be found.In case of brain death, all my immediate family should be present and standing around pointing and laughing at me while a doctor pulls the plug. I can't stand cry babies.If I die under suspicious circumstances, go immediately to Springville, Utah and arrest my mother-in-law, Elaine. She's had it out for me ever since I married her son and made him eat wheat bread even though he prefers white. Don't be fooled by her sweet demeanor and scrumptious homemade dinner rolls.
