Part 1:
Assume you are an attorney and you are asked to prepare a Will by an individual you suspect maybe suffering from some form of dementia. What is a will? What are the requirements for a valid will? Describe how you should approach the situation. Be sure to describe the pro’s and con’s to your approach and to defend your position with citations.
In the work by K. Sneddon found in the required resources, there is a discussion about gender and the language of wills. What does the author say about the issue and why or why not is this important? Defend your position.
Part 2:
Using the e-textbook and the sources provided in the required resources folder; Define a codicil. Is it preferable to add a codicil to an existing Will or is it better to simply draft another Will for the client. Assume you are an attorney and a client approaches you with the issue. How would you advise the client? Consider, discuss and defend your position, in other words you must state in detail why you are doing it the way you say and why it is the best way.
