I By Judge Lucile A. Watts TLOD-Stutua of Women Committee Special To The Post Why should a woman have a will? For aU the reasons that anyone needs a will, so that your property is distributed the way you wish it to be. If a woman Is married, she may hold some property jointly with her hus band and some in her own name •atone The obligation ** make a decision about distribution of pro party remains whether one is mar ried or single. Moreover, if there are children, you will want to express your preference about who will be the guardian in the event of the death of both parents. should you wait until you reach a certain age to make will? The answer is no. Life is uncertain and not everyone dies of old age. A married woman should give consi deration to drawing a will which may bear on the terms of the win drawn by her husband Each of them should consider the possibility that they could die in a common dis aster and provide for that possibili ty. Do not fail to provide for children who may be born after the will is signed. Husbands may wish to in clude a clause to cover outside children, who may claim him as lather . Will drawing time is the time to be realisUr and to cover All hamsr It is possible that wife or hwband will wish to keep the terms of her, or his, will secret from the other. This is possible since your lawyer cannot ethically reveal anything which you reveal in confidence to him or her. If you decide to make a will and keep it secret from your spouse, be sure to ask your attorney how to deal with jointly-held property. This is not a “how to” column. This writer recommends that you consult your attorney. For single women, many of the above-mentioned problems do not arise. Simply list all those people whom you wish to benefit and the amount of kind of property they ere to receive. Tclect a responsible person (fiduciary) to carry out your wishes and specify the kind of bond the person should be under. If there are persons who would normally expect to inherit and you wish to First in series exclude them, it is better to men tion the person by name. For ex ample: I have not left anything to my oldest son, Tim, because be is financially secure; or, I have in tentionally excluded my nephew, John. This recital is to prevent a claim that you forgot to mention the person. _ —■ i If you die with a will (intes tate) your property goes to your relatives according to something called the laws of descent and distribution. This is frequently not the way the testator (you) intend ed. Long absent spouses often turn up to claim property when a person dies without a will. You may want to leave every thing to your spouse and trust to him to look after your children; or, you may think it better to make the division between your spouse and children in the will. Why leave anything to chance when it is so simple to reduce your wishes to writing? V Drs. Jerry A. Jones and Clarence O.
