A will does not necessarily base to be technically worded, so long as the intention or the testator is clear, but certain technicalities should be observed in order to prevent any friction in the courts. For much precious time, wasted in the attempt to fathom such problems as what Mr. Jones meant in bequeathing to his daughter his property lying south of a certain road when the road itself runs north and south. In the first place, the former wills should be revoked in a special clause in the document; otherwise, they will still be valid before the court. Suggestions as to funeral arrangements should be made, such as the desired place of interment, the kind of monument, and so on, and there should also be a specific provision for the payment of debts, giving the executor authority to sell a portion of the estate for the purpose, if necessary. Requests to wives, children, and relatives should be stated in clear language and so described that the court will have no difficulty in locating the property.
