5 Reasons Why You Should Write Your Will (now) by Olufhemy(m): 8:33am On Aug 01, 2015 |
It is undeniable that we all make plans, keep dreams, build mansions,but can't see beyond our noses. The ultimate question then is: What becomes of an individual after crossing the bridge? Many a time we love cetain people (wife;children -of inside & outside;brothers; or at times even friends)so much that harm done to them is like 3rd World War on our hearts. To ensure therefore, that the love you have for them continues even years after your death, A WILL IS THE SOLUTION. Many people conceive the error that only old people prepare wills, but then i ask : IS IT ONLY THE OLD THAT DIE? -NO who then can write a will? EVERYONE OF 18 YEARS AND ABOVE. To avoid boring you, read below the beauty of writing a will. 1. IT PREVENTS THE INCIDENTS OF CUSTOMARY PRACTICES. customary practices abound under the various cultures & tribes, such as where you have the wife thrown out & deceased's siblings take over his properties (including those jointly purchased ). And the poor woman is left stranded. 2. IT ALLOWS THE DECEASED CHOOSE HIS EXECUTORS (those to enforce his will). The deceased here has the opportunity of reposing his will to the enforcement of a well trusted person (people ) eg a long friend or even corporate bodies eg banks, or even churches. 3. IT ALLOWS THE DECEASED(called a testator) APPOINT GOOD GUARDIANS FOR HIS CHILDREN. especially where his children are still young. 4. ALLOWS THE TESTATOR DISTRIBUTE HIS PROPERTIES AS HE PLEASES. The testator has the opportunity to determine who gets what,in what quantity, & for how long, without controversy. 5. ALLOWS THE TESTATOR DISPLAY HIS BENEVOLENCE AND GOODWILL. as the testator may decide to extend the scope of his distribution to people outside his family, such as creating a scholarship/welfare front for indigent people (as Gani did). the above are just but a few Reasons why everyone is advised to prepare a will. A WILL PREPARED TODAY IS NEVER OUTDATED AS IT CAN ALWAYS BE BUILT UPON/MODIFIED. |

if things like this don't make front page & things like keke napep sleeper does, then i fear obasanjo was right when he said 'if you want to keep things from a Nigerian, write it in a book '. 1 Like |
