Top 10 Reasons Why It Is Not Wise To Write Your Own Will
By News Canada


(NC)-Although some provinces accept a handwritten, self-made will (called a "Holograph" will), it is risky to do it yourself. The cost of having a will prepared professionally by a lawyer or notary is far less than people imagine.

Here are just some of the common mistakes which can be made when individuals handwrite their own wills:

  1. Any wills written previously are not formally revoked.

  2. There is often no alternate Executor named.

  3. Frequently a family member or friend is given a bequest, but then there is no consideration for what happens to this gift if the person predeceases the author of the will.

  4. Most people who write their own wills do not make sufficient provision for the person administering your Estate. For example, the power to sell and convert assets to cash, etc.

  5. On several occasions the language a person uses in making a home-made will can be vague or misinterpreted.

  6. Often people take certain things for granted; for example, that their children will outlive them.

  7. Favourite non-profit organizations such as a health charity or Greenpeace are not identified properly.

  8. People may instruct to give a particular item to a friend or relative, but no consideration is given to what happens if that gift does not exist at the date of death.

  9. Sometimes a house is left to a spouse, in trust for example, but then there is often no mention of who pays the expenses for upkeep of the property during the lifetime of the beneficiary.

  10. Last, but not least, don`t make the mistake of assuming because you have typewritten your own will that it is a valid Holograph will. A typewritten will has to follow the usual formalities of a prepared will, such as witnessing and signing as required by law.

If a will is not done properly, the things you have worked hard for all your life may not be looked after in the manner you would have wished - not to speak of the confusion left behind for loved ones, at a time when they are least able to cope with such difficulties.

Car Gap Insurance - Car Gap Insurance
...ver heard of car gap insurance until recently. I suppose unless you buy a car on finance you might not know about such policies. As I understand it the car gap insurance covers you in the event of a car being stolen and never recovered or one that is deemed a total loss by the insurers. If you still owe money on the car to a finance company then the gap insurance will pay off the difference between what the insurer says the car is worth and what finance you have left on it. Some of the policies will even leave you with some money to use as a deposit on another car. It`s, probably something that many people would never even consider when they take a car out on finance. If the insurance company decides that the car is worth less than you thought it might be when it is deemed a total loss then you could have to stump up the money to pay off the bal...

Gap Insurance - Gap Insurance
...nsurance is? I know that I had never heard about this type of insurance before until it was brought to my attention recently. The gap insurance covers the deprecation on a car in the event of it being stolen and never recovered. How does it work you might wonder and do you need to take it out if you have outstanding finance on the vehicle? Say you have ten thousand pounds worth of car finance on your car but when it gets stolen the insurance company says it`s only worth eight grand. It means you`ll have to find the extra two thousand pounds to pay off the finance company. If you take out gap insurance on the car, this amount will be covered, so you don`t have to find any additional money to pay off the debt. Most people buy cars and decide to keep them for a set amount of time so they know how much fina...
