rPHE ' WILL AND THE WAY. I i- 25—Bisks of Intestacy. What causes a man to risk his family's welfare by not -. making a good will, drawn by an expert? In some eases this neglect is due to a dislike of anything which suggests the inevitable, common end of mankind. In other cases the fault is sheer procrastination, the constant deferring of a task which is regarded as difficult. Both these causes are unworthy of a tlioughtful family man; either fault may -mar an otherwise good record of citizenship. When a man does not leave a will providing for a wise, reliable executor and trustee, lie practically gives this order: "Divide my estate according to the laws of inheritance. Make the division on. the rigid basis fixed by the law to meet the average ease." An intestate estate cannot be conserved to the best advantage of dependants. It must be wound up and divided—not as the late owner would have willed, but as the law directs. The State-guar-anteed Public Trust Office is. able to show the way to a better disposition of the estate. Tor full information apply to the PUBLIC TBUSTEE, WELLINGTON, or to Mr E. BABNS, District Public Trustee, Hawera. Part-time office also at Patea.
