Will Registry
Diabetes….is a silent creeper, and if left unchecked, can cause major other health problems,
These complications sometimes force many to hurriedly plan and complete their Wills and Estate plans.
The Canadian Diabetes Association has awerness programs, publications and other promotions constantly promoting to individuals to be checked. Requesting of their doctor to do a glucose tolerance test would determine a positive or negative result.
Many with other illnesses quite often do not know that a Type 2 diabetes may be a contributing factor to their problem, and it is often not discovered by their doctors either unless a glucose tolerance test has been done.
The Canadian Diabetes Association requests often for individuals to pay attention to the preparation of their Wills as well.
The owner of this website blog, has been a Type 2 diabetes patient for now 29 years, after it was discovered for a corporate medical.

Wills
TIME…..IS WHAT WE WANT MOST, ……BUT WHAT WE USE WORST. !” says William Penn.
So STOP….Give It Up,…..NO ONE CAN CONTROL TIME !…..There is no success in it. As a matter of fact, more often than not, the wasted efforts will control you !
The reason some people can achieve more in a day than others….is because they do the one FREE thing that others don’t do.?
To do so, most say they set and follow certain priorties of the day for their success, and above all, building - in a quite time for themselves. ! They strongly urge people to be sure to build – in this quite time regularly.
In the marketing and research for why too many people do not as yet have WILLS prepared, individuals repeatedly said, “ We know we must get it done,……but we never seem to have the time to start the planning.!”
Every morning as you look at yourself in your bathroom mirror, give yourself a stern lecture and make a committment to address this vital issue . Keep doing that…until you have completed the task. Everyday without a family Will, leaves your loved ones at risk.
Very few win, if they gamble with TIME.
Not tomorrow or next week……TODAY !
Your spouse and children (if any) are too precious to leave unprotected without a Family Will.
As a starting point for you and them, the lawyer”s advise…. ” discuss your objectives and intentions with your partner and any trusted family members.” “ Especially teens.” “ Once you have come to terms with your feelings, wishes and family facts, then write them out in a letter form, and re-read them so that all family members know and understand what will be recorded in your lawyer’s final document”. Your legal professional will tell you this letter will be called a Testamentary Letter.
Legal advice says, “This letter is not a Will, nor a draft of your Will.” “ It is simply information of value for your legal professional to help him/her, draft your Final Will.”
“The thoughts expressed in this letter should NOT be considered rigid or binding and it should always be tempered by the careful consideration (s) and circumstances that may exist when the final decisions have to be made, “ lawyers advise.
Individuals and families have reported this exercise to be extremely rewarding and comforting as it helped them answer questions about preserving more of their accumalated wealth for their family members.
Registering the location of where that final Will is going to be kept, is the next and final step to set your mind at ease.
Power of Attorney
The legal profession says “ If you want to change your Will, DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL WILL !”
“You can amend your Will by making A NEW WILL.
However, they say “ sometimes it is more convenient or appropriate to amend your Will by creating a document called a CODICIL ( an add-on to the existing Will ). “ “ This document is also subject to the same rules regarding required signatures and execution as apply to your Will”.
Most every page on the website (www.worldregistryofwills.com ) strongly urges individuals and families to invlove your lawyer or other trained legal professional when having your Will drafted. The blog ( www.worldregistryofwillsblog.com ) also offers timely and usable information to guide you.
If you are one of the 20% in the world who have a Will that can be found when needed,……the legal profession says:
Yes…..it is possible. Your Will might be revoked automatically by what you do ( e.i. a change in marital status ) depending on the jurisdiction in which you live.! And that is why the legal profession strongly urges people to REVIEW their Wills every two years.
This blog always urges individuals to work with a good legal professional of their choice because they can make you aware of all the regulations that you should be aware of.
But, Remember…..an emergency hand-written Will should be written , and it’s location revealed to the family, while you wait to get to your legal professional. It is called a Holographic Will, and it’s location too, can be registered with the worlds wills locations registry.
Finally addressing the necessity of drafting your WILL today…..will make a tremendous difference in the tomorrow’s of your spouse and children.
Here is why,….. and we quote from a press story about actor Mark Ruffalo co-star with Leonardo DiCaprio in “ Shutter Island “.
Mr. Ruffalo said “ he cheated death and learned to love life “, after beating a brain tumor that threatened his life and paralyzed his face for a time, after a grueling 10 hr operation to remove a very rare and slow growing tumor called an acoustic neuroma.” “ In a weird way”, he says “ it turned out to be an enormous gift. “ “ It was absolute hell, but out of it I got my priorities straight. !”
In response to a reporter’ question,…” I guess that kind of devastating news makes you realize we all have a limited time on this planet ?, He replied “ Oh, yes. All of a sudden, time is real. When you’re young, you don’t live with the idea of a finite amount. “ “ Now you realize you could be dead if something goes slightly the wrong way.” “ That’s pretty startling. !”
The World Registry Of Wills, strongly endorses the legal professional’s urgent warning to all individuals to make every attempt to get a Will prepared as early as possible to protect against any undue circumstances. It doesn’t matter, young or old.
We don’t know if Mr. Ruffalo had a Will prepared before his terrible news, but we hope that has now been corrected.
Dire consequences has conquered many, many families, who were left without a designed road map for their future . THAT ELUSIVE FAMILY WILL…!
Please don’t add your name to that list?
Will
and in the nick of time his doctor said.!
This young 38 yr old accountant with a wife and two children, a beautiful new home, two cars, a lake cottage and all the electronics to play with went for his annual physical to his doctor. Never having been really sick during most of his years, he went to a newer doctor in town as his former doctor retired.
Much to his horror, he was told after an MRI, he had a brain aneurysm, and further the on-set of type 2 diabetes.! ( Two Silent Creeping killers ) if not detected and treated. There is usually no warning pain signals.
When everything seemed to be going beautifully for the family, this came right out of the blue, and one can imagine the mental emotions going home to tell his wife.
He was told some people can live with an aneurysm, and some might have two .They can be treated and followed up with MRI’s ever so often. The risk of course….is when they burst, then, most everyone knows the answer to that.
There is no radiation involved with an MRI says Dr. Paul Donohue. ” Magnetic resonance imaging doesn’t involve radiation. It involves magnets and magnetic fields.” He says “a brain aneurysm is like an aneurysm on any other body artery. It’s a bulge, and it represents a weak spot. Actually it’s more like a blister.” “ And all aneurysms have an inherent RISK of BURSTING and causing brisk bleeding.” “ There is a danger anywhere in the body, but in the brain, it is often calamitous.! “ He told the young man his aneurysm was discovered by chance through his medical and MRI , and that is how many are discovered. “ He said few aneurysms produce symptoms before they actually burst.” “ Many, many remain silent for all of life. “.!
“YES….there is a chance for treatment if discovered in time,” says Dr. Donohue.
The good message here is get your annual physical asking for a thorough top to bottom.
Diabetes and brain aneurysms are are silent creepers giving little warning of trouble.
This again raises the question, “ Do you have a Will prepared, and does your family know where it is at ? “

Living Wills
The question was “ I’m almost 60 but feel like I’m worse off than I was earlier in my career.” “ Retiring is impossible as I’m still supporting a family. “” How can I relieve these pressures?”
Susan Pinker ( spinker@globeandmail.com ) ” suggests you command yourself to set firmer boundaries around your personal time, some of which you should use to gain a little perspective.” “ Your challenge is to gain a sense of proportion while protecting some needed leisure time as a reward for your efforts to date. “
“One way to acquire perspective is to consider the working lives of your parents and grandparents. On average, mid-career individuals are out-earning, out-living,, and enjoying far more luxurious lives than their ancestors did throughout the world and expect to live one-third longer. ”
Dr. Matt Ridley in his book ( The Rational Optimist ), ” shows that our lives , including our working lives are improving dramatically with each generation. Rich or poor, three-quarters of us now have cellphones, televisions, cars, and live a life of untold largesse according to the standards of the 1920s through 1950s.” “In 2005, compared with 1955, the average human being, earned nearly three times as much money.”
Psychologist Susan Spinker offers, “happiness and ideas about success hinge on context and your current mindset. “ “Our level of satisfaction is tied to our perception of how we’re doing in relation to relatives and freinds.”. “What we’re convinced will thrill us in the future—a new home, a new car—early retirement, usually doesn’t.
These round-the-clock pressures can sap your soul . ONLY IF YOU LET THEM.!
One of these utmost stress levels has been determined due to the failure of individuals and parents to have finalized a Family Will, and yet, it is the easiest and simplist endeavor to accomplish.
It is one thing to over-come obstacles put in front of you by circumstances,…..but for gracious sake……DON”T CREATE YOUR OWN OBSTACLES .
If your loving wife and children are your main focus in life, show your devotion by leaving a proper road map ( WILL ) to follow for their futures.
That will eliminate more stress than one can ever imagine for the whole family and all your relatives.
Will planning
is the one who recognizes and seizes the right moment. ( says Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe ) to collect all family together at an evening meal and announce that this week-end we will gather following dinner to start to lay out the instructions we will want in our family Will.
This person, in control, will advise family members to be prepared with input into the discussion and planning about the distribution of assets amongst all family members. This person will want to hear from each family member about their desires that may end up on paper in the family WILL.
This person, the right person, is taking a wonderful attitude with his family to begin the planning of the family’s Will.
When that eventful day arrives, and there is the reading of the Will, there will be complete comfort with all knowing how the assets will be distributed without quarrel.
How nice……oh, how nice it would be for all families to handle this important task in this manner. Will you tell your friends about this attitude please ?
Was, Is, a government committment declaring educational opportunities for all children.
How well this endeavor is unfolding has not been followed up with any reports as yet.
Now, if parents would adopt and adhere to this request, they would sit down today to address their part in guiding and protecting their children and their futures by taking care of the details to draft up their Will information to present to the legal professional of their choice to have a final Will drafted. Being conscious of their children’s education is honorable but expected. But providing their education to young adults, is not the only compulsory task parents have, because if there is no road map to follow when either parent is prematurally missing, havoc can be created for their futures.
We urge you to avoid leaving them hanging. Write out exactly what you would want them all to do if and when that day comes. It is not only the right thing to do , but the honorable thing to do. But, above all…the smartest thing to do.
It will give them a better launching pad, rather than a pool of discontent and unhappiness.
Even an emergency Will is better than no Will at all. ( Holographic )
