TO MAKE A WILL
The statement, “We don’t
own enough to justify a will”
is over-used by many
families. If you have a fami
ly, and if you own anything,
you should have a wUL If a
person dies without a will,
property is distributed ac
cording to the Interstate
Laws of Pennsylvania.
These laws may not
distribute your estate ac
cording to your desires. This
has often happened in the
past and there is little that
can be done about it without
a will.
We urge all family heads,
and property owners to con
tact a lawyer, and have him
help with making a will. The
cost will not be great in com
parison to settlements and
costs without a will. Don’t
put it off any longer.

After the trees are plan

trees have been serving as
natural windbreakers for the
