qpHE yyiLL and yyAY. (7).—MAKING AND BREAKING OF ESTATES. Everybody knows that the breaking of anything is usually easier than the making. “Some men devote a lifetime to building up an estate—and their heirs proceed to dissipate it in three or four years,” writes ah American reviewer. "Who is to blame? Not the heirs, but primarily the men who are careless enough to leave their fortunes in inexperienced hands.” A reviewer of the statistics of estates in the U.S.A, says: “The average estate lasts from seven ‘to nine years after the creator’s death. Unwise investments, loss or dissipation in 90 per, cent, of cases prove the undoing.” Trouble is courted when a person does not make the right kind of will and arrange for the right kind of Trustee. The way to safeguard an estate from ruinous mismanagement or dissipation is by appointing the State-guaranteed Public Trustee as your executor in a carefully drafted will. For full information apply to the Public Trustee, Wellington; the District Public Trustee, New Plymouth or Hawera; or the District Manager. Stratford.
