have otherwise been avoided by the
simple division and distribution of the
estate by will, and in most instances
avoid long and costly law-suits.
It has been said, and truly so, by
observing business men and finan
ciers that one reason so many com
fortably and wealthy families have
been built and maintained in our
New England States, is the fact that
the earlier builders of estates, both
large and small, adopted the course
of preserving their estates by wills
or trusts, thereby projecting the ma
terial welfare of their families into
futurity, illustrating the truthfulness
of that old saying. “There is as much
cr more in saving as there is in
making.”
Permit me, therefore, in all earn
estness to suggest to you, while you
are yet in life and health, and wheth
er you have much or little accumula
ted, to exercise your right and privi
lege in saying to whom, where and
how it shall go by making and filing
away our voluntary will, or trust,
through and by the employment of
the services of some reliable and
competent attorney, and such a step
will, of course, not cause you to live
any longer or to die any sooner.
