Stories of Legacy Givers: a Testament to Compassion

Common Questions About Legacy Giving

  1. What’s the difference between a will and a “peace paper”?
    A “peace paper” is an informal term; a will, when drafted according to legal standards, is a binding document.
  2. Do I need a lawyer to draft my will?
    While it’s possible to draft your own will, consulting a lawyer ensures it meets legal standards and avoids disputes.
  3. Can I make a "secret" will without informing my family or friends?
    Legally, yes. However, you must notify your executor in advance; otherwise, they won’t know their role, leading to potential challenges in execution. At a minimum, inform them of two key details: (1) where the original will is stored, and (2) a list of your assets and their locations.
  4. What happens if I don’t draft a will?
    If you fail to draft a will, the distribution of your estate after your passing will be dictated by the rigid framework of legal stipulations—an impersonal mechanism that may not reflect your own wishes. This statutory process, while systematic, often demands your heirs to navigate the labyrinthine task of proving familial ties, a procedure both laborious and fraught with delays.
  5. What is an executor, and how should I choose one?
    An executor, appointed in your will, manages your assets, settles debts, and distributes your estate as per your wishes. They must be over 21, trustworthy, and capable of handling these responsibilities.
  6. If I wish to donate property to a charity after my death, what should I consider?
    If you plan to donate property to a charity, ensure it is fully owned by you, free of mortgages or ownership disputes. Charities often prefer that your will specifies selling the property first and then donating the proceeds.
