WILL PART 2

REQUIREMENT OF A VALID WILL

A valid will must be in writing: It is imperative that a person has to take note of this important condition that a will can be typed, printed, or handwritten. It is a legally binding document that must be made in writing in order for it to be enforceable.

An individual of legal age can make a valid, He/she must be at least 18 years of age, with sound mind meaning that he/she understands that a will is being made and is the same as at the time of making the will.

A will must be made voluntarily without any external influence.

The will must be signed by the testator or any person he chooses on his behalf who then must sign in his presence and by his directions.

The testator must acknowledge his signature in presence of two (2) witnesses who must be present at the same time. Acknowledgement can be by word or conduct

The witnesses must themselves sign the will in presence of the testator. It is important to note that a witness cannot be a beneficiary to a will, and any gift given to a witness will be null and void. Choosing people who are not beneficiary to the will as witnesses will prevent a conflict of interest and ensure confidentiality. Therefore, the testator’s spouse and children cannot attest to a will, since they are definitely going to be beneficiaries in it.

A blind person can make a valid Will and  there must be a Caveat in the Will stating that the Will was read to the blind person and was signed by the person. However a Will can not be attested by a blind person.

There is however an exception to the making of a Will, a person who is not of a legal age and serves under any form of military service can make a valid Will.

CONTENTS OF A VALID WILL

The full name and address of the testator.

The names and address of the executors who will be in charge of the testator’s assets and ensure that the wishes under the will are carried out.

The full names and addresses of the beneficiaries in the will, and where the beneficiaries are minors, the particulars of the guardian appointed for them.

A full list and particulars of the testator’s assets; all the assets of the testator both real and personal should be listed, and how he wants the assets shared among the beneficiaries.

The names and addresses of witnesses to the will.

Signatures of the testator and that of the Witnesses.

REVOCATION OF A WILL

There are four ways in which a Will may be revoked as follows; by marriage, by making another Will, by writing to revoke and by destruction. 

Revocation of Will by Marriage: The testator’s marriage will automatically revoke any existing wills and codicils.This revocation occurs by operation of law, whether or not the testator wishes or intends such a revocation. Unfortunately, not all married persons are privy to the knowledge of this deemed revocation and the law may occasionally be viewed as creating some hardship to the disappointed beneficiaries. The rationale for this rule however, is to ensure that any children and new spouse will benefit, that is by creating an intestacy in the absence of a new will. In Section 11 Wills Edict 1990 0f Lagos State, the typical law states:

 “Every Will made by a man or woman shall be revoked by his or her marriage (other than a marriage in accordance with customary law) except: A will expressed to be made in contemplation of the celebration of that marriage. Provided that the names of the parties to the marriage contemplated are clearly stated”.

 An exception to this general rule is made if, and only if, 

Wills made in exercise of a power of appointment in which the person appointed will not default of the appointment but it passes to his or her executor or administrator.

Wills expressed to be made in contemplation of celebration of a marriage where the names of the parties to the marriage contemplated are clearly stated.

Revocation of Will by Voluntary Act: Pursuant to Section 14 of the Wills Act, a will may be revoked, in whole or in part, by the formal execution of a written declaration of revocation, whether this declaration stands alone or is found as part of a subsequent will or codicil. To be effective, however, the testator must intend to rescind the prior will, in whole or in part. It requires both a written declaration expressing the testator’s intent to revoke the prior will and requires that such a declaration be properly executed in compliance with the Wills Act formalities. Most often the revocation will be included in a new will or codicil however that is not required so long as the declaration of revocation is properly executed in compliance with the Wills Act formalities. From a practice standpoint therefore, where a testator wishes to make changes to a previous will, we suggest the safest practice is usually to start again by drawing a new will revoking the previous will entirely and thus avoiding any confusion. The words of revocation are not clear, the earlier will remain.

Revocation of Will by Destruction: a will, or part of a will may be revoked by the destruction of the will by the testator or by the testator’s direction and by sufficient destruction, with the testator’s intention of revocation. The intention to destroy and the act of destruction must coexist for a valid destruction. The Wills Act requires both that the testator intends a revocation by destruction and witness or participate in that destruction, whether it be the testator or his or her agent who physically effects the destruction. Partial destruction will not revoke the entire will unless those parts of the will left intact cannot stand on their own. The destruction must not merely be symbolic, but result in actual 'physical injury' to the will, such as cutting the will into bits which could not be pieced together or total incineration. The intention to revoke, no matter how clear it may be, is not enough without a completed act of destruction of the will. Similarly, destruction without intention to revoke does not revoke the will.

Malcolm LaVergne, O.J. Simpson's longtime attorney and executor of his will, has made headlines with his recent reversal regarding payments to the Goldman family, expressing a commitment to honoring their claim to the millions awarded in a 1998 civil judgment against Simpson. A Change of Heart LaVergne, who initially stated his intention to fight against any payout to the Goldman family, has now shifted his stance. In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he acknowledged his earlier remarks and affirmed his willingness to accept Fred Goldman's claim and handle it by Nevada law. O.J. Simpson's Lawyer Reverses Stance Addressing Past Remarks LaVergne attributed his previous statements to his frustration with Fred Goldman's attorneys, whom he accused of continuing to disparage Simpson even after his death. He admitted that his remarks were harsh and not reflective of his intentions to be transparent and fair in handling the estate. Commitment to Transparency To maintain transparency, LaVergne plans to involve the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in the estate proceedings. He intends to invite Goldman's mother and the individual managing Brown's estate to a meeting at his office, where he will present his plan for addressing their claims. Unresolved Debts Despite the substantial judgment awarded to the Goldman family in 1998, Fred Goldman has stated that he has yet to receive any payment from Simpson. The tens of millions owed to both the Goldmans and the Browns remain unresolved debts, which will take precedence over unsecured creditors in the probate process. Probate Process and Estate Management Simpson's assets, including real estate holdings in Florida, have been placed into a trust and will undergo a probate process in court. LaVergne, acting by the wishes of Simpson's four adult children, is overseeing decisions related to the estate based on their consensus. Funeral Arrangements Regarding Simpson's remains, LaVergne confirmed that they will be cremated, with the decision made by Simpson's children through consensus. While there are no immediate plans for a funeral ceremony, a memorial celebration of Simpson's life is anticipated shortly, intended to be limited to family and friends.
