The Will To Leave Peace

What you leave behind...


Not so long ago, my wife’s family had this little reunion. In that occasion all the siblings of her father were present. A very rare occasion. That time also, their mother was still alive and their father was still very healthy. While they were sharing the table of food together, Papa Sito, my wife’s father who is also the eldest among seven, made a suggestion. He proposed that while all of them are present and their parents are still very healthy, perhaps it is the best time for them to divide their inheritance. His idea is it would be a more orderly and peaceful process when all them are still lucid enough to voice their opinions in such a sensitive matter as subdivision of lands and division of tangible wealth.

But Grandpa Abon vehemently refused. Are you wishing for my death? He snapped. No one said a word again.

Now, Grandma Iya is gone and Grandpa Abon suffered a stroke about a year ago. The two principal authorities to execute any division of inheritance is legally incapacitated. With some of the siblings now with conflicting interests, how are they going to go ahead without touching sensitivities that could have been avoided years ago.

The best will any parent can execute is the will to leave their children in peace. Holding to bygone traditions or sentimentalities will not ensure the children’s security when the parents are gone. A will is good enough. It is a binding legal document. But the spirit of the law would always be in what’s best for the person. And there is can be no better will than to settle every issue, every item on inheritance before age catches up with you and makes you irrelevant to the process. It is your will that would have to be executed in the first place.

You can learn more about last will and testament in Wikipedia which contains lots of resources about the legal document.
