Looking Forward
One major benefit of writing a will is that
you can name your estate's executor—the person
you'd like to carry out your final wishes.
Your executor will be responsible for taking
your estate through probate court, collecting your
assets, paying your debts and distributing what's
left to your heirs—according to the instructions in
your will.
Oualides of a good executor
or Knowledge. The ideal executor would be
part -lawyer, tax accountant, investment
adviser and psychologist. Since few people
wear all of these hats, your executor should
be willing to work with experts if needed.
Avoid appointing someone who insists on
doing everything "solo"—the results could
be disastrous for your heirs.
^r Trustworthiness. You need to have
complete faith in your executor's
competence and integrity.
W, Communication skills. Choose someone
who will be able to communicate with your
heirs in clear, non technical language.
If you haven't named an executor or you'd like to
name somebody else, now s the time to update your
will.❑
Safety
The'Office Smarts' reminders:
✓ Always lock your car when you leave
it—and when you're inside of it.
✓ After dark, walk to your car or to public
transportation with a friend, or ask for a
security escort.
✓ Report broken security fights in stairwells,
garages, and outside.
✓ Know where your office fire extinguisher
and fire exits are.
✓ Keep your wallet with you, or locked in a
drawer or closet.
Keep close track of the office keys in your
possession.
✓ Keep the phone number of your companys
security department posted by your office
phone.
✓ Shred important papers before putting them
into your wastebasket.
✓ Don't get into elevators with people who
seem to be out of place, or who behave
strangely.
✓ Don't use the stairs alone unless you're in a
very secure building.
✓ Be cautious when using restrooms that are
in isolated places, or that are open to the
public.
✓ If you bank for your business, vary your
route and your times of departure. Keep
the bank bag under wraps.❑
Golden Nu2eet
Four groups of people (farmers, factory workers,
executives and doctors) were asked if they needed
more income to make ends meet, and if so, how
much. Every income group—from $15,000
annually to $150,000—responded that they needed
about 10% more.
