Short and Sweet.

Ah a way to beat lawyers who thrive on long-drawn-out will contests we recommend the last will and testament of a Los Angeles man who died leaving an estate of SIIO,OOO. This was his will, fourteen words in all: - 7 "I direct that all my property be distributed according to the laws of California." As an example of multum in parvo this will is entitled to rank as a classic. Maybe this man’s will was superfluous, but he had the fun of making a will, which is all "the satisfaction that many of them get out. of it.'
