Your Right to Own Property

IL ANASAs ~ O"A AOFSASy
! Your real and personal prop
'erty is yours. Almost every
body in the United States owns
something. It may be a farm,
a home, a business, stocks and
bonds, personal jewelry, fur
niture, clothing, etc.
Transfer of Title at Death
When you die, your owner
ship in property is suddenly
ended. By making a good will
you can designate to whom
you want each item given or
certain portions of your total
assets. Without a will, the
laws of the state will deter
mine who shares in what prop
erty you leave at the time of
your death. If you are mar
ried, your wife and children
are given a certain share, re-
CARELESS of their age or the
size or value of your estate.
Guardians must be appointed
for all minor children to han
die the property they inherit,
bond must be furnished by the
guardian and make regular re-
ports filed in the court. Only
by a court order can any item
of property left to the children
be sold or disposed Of. Avoid
these complications by making
a will,
The laws of succession de-
termine what class of relatives
will share in your estate. No
brother, sister, or cousin can
inherit anything if there are
closer relatives. No friend
could inherit from you under
any circumstances unless you
leave a will leaving property
to that person.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-07-16
Suggestions

Your will should be written
now and placed where it can
be found when needed. A copy
should be given to your princi-
pal beneficiary. 1t should be
prepared in proper form &C
cording to the laws. You
should pick a competent at
torney to write your will or to
O. K. one which you may have
previously prepared. 1t must
conform to the laws of the
state where you live at the
time TO your death.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-07-16
Special Caution

Some states have adopted
laws to recognize wills made
by men in uniform, but usually
these laws do not cover the
case of vetean who dies after
being discharged. All wills
must have witnesses who sign
as such, and states vary as to
the number of witnesses re-
CURED. Witnesses must be
found and their signatures as
witnesses accepted by the
court if the will is to be admit
ted for probate. Witnesses to
Army and Navy wills are now
difficult to find because of
death or loss of address or con-
tact. Even the Army and Navy
cannot be Of much help in To-
eating these witnesses. A will
left by a veteran in service is
not always admitted to the
court.
1t is advisable for every
veteran who left a will made
out while in service, to cancel
that will by writing a new one

MAN KENNEDY peaked through
L Y the muslin curtains, looking
anxiously down the street. Ihere
wasn't a sign of Lester coming yet'
and she didn't know whether she
was relieved or sorry.
After all, she was doing some
thing very unorthodox, asking FRO
fessor Lester Thompson to call.
What would he think? Regularly
twice a month for two years, he had
asked her to the movies, and those
were red letter days highlightlng
the dullness of these past lonely
years-10 Of them-of school teach
ing.
She had merely said, when she
had passed him in the hall OF their
school, that she had peculiar PROB
lem, and could he-would he-that
is, did he think he could call around
this evening at about 8 o'clock, and
give her some advice?
From her window Nan caught
sight Of Lester walking, with his
usual dignified stride, through the
gateway, and few downstairs to in
tercept him, before her fellow lodg-
ers came out of their rooms to peer
at him, and, later, behind their
closed doors, conjecture. She nerv-
ously conveyed him upstairs.
Lester" she said determinedly,
do you ever read the personal col
umns Of the paper?"
Sometimes. Why, Nan?"
well, I came across an adver-
tisement thought I would answer.
But wanted your advice, first"

into proper folds and read aloud:

don't do it; he might be anything.
You never know. 1t might be a
racket"
But Lester, he might be sim
cere. It probably isn't a dignified
way to get married"
'I don't know what to say" Les
ter said, running his fingers
through his hair. Maybe you'd bet
ter take the chance"
Nan said nothing. Lester looked
up suddenly, How about Parker?
That widower who is always taking
you out? I thought you two. well,
maybe-?"
''Mr. Parker" said Nan firmly,
lis catch. There is also a catch
to his proposal. Yes. he's an eligi-
BILE widower, Lester, but he has
four children. He likes me all right,
but wife is a lot less expensive
than hiring a housekeeper. I've
been too busy earning my own and
my family's living for years, and
now when ] find time to have
beaux, there just aren't any. What
do do?"
That's almost like my predica-
ment," Lester said thoughtfully.
"Only ! suppose it is different for
a man, socially, that is. But I have
supported and still do, quite a few
elderly relatives. If I didn't, and if
they didn't live with me, their. old
age pensions wouldn't be enough
you get the idea?"
She nodded in sympathy.
I'm telling you all this he said,
glaring at her, $50 you'll know why
I can't propose"
'You," she breathed.
"Yes, me-" he said belligerently.
why not?" He got to his feet; she
got to hers, and, without any further
effort, they were in one another's
arms. Finally she pushed him back,
still breathless, and laughing. "Why,
Lester" she said, 'that was won
derful!"
Lets try it again?" said Les
ter, and did.
Presently Nan said, "You know,
I'll bet you put that ad in the paper
yourself!"
1T was good idea," said Les
ter, "but not mine"
Can we afford to marry?" said
Nan.
"Of course" said Lester. bliss

Nan didn't protest at the rever-
sal of his arguments: it was won

and q little courage, and a great
deal Of luck. It was worth every
thing she had put into it.
