Harneys announces return of annual free 'BVI Wills' drive for 2021
According to a press release from the law firm today, September 21, 2021, the free offer is to help members of the community achieve peace of mind and security in these "uncertain times".
The drive starts on September 20, 2021, through October 8, 2021.
Last year's drive a success
In September 2020, the firm’s annual free BVI Wills drive resulted in over 40 free simple Wills being drawn up for members of the community ages 60 and up. Due to the success of last year’s drive, Harneys has extended the opportunity to the wider community this year.
Head of Harneys BVI Private Wealth, Ayana S. Hull commented: “The events of the last few years, whether it is hurricanes or global pandemics, have reminded us of the preciousness and fragility of life. During these unprecedented times, we have all had the opportunity to reflect and acknowledge that it is important to ensure that our affairs are in order during, and after our lifetime. I am proud to be associated with a law firm that is offering assistance to those in the community, who may not be in a position to make these arrangements, the opportunity to do so free of charge.”

There is no such thing as a free lunch!
Wills can be changed on a death bed, conspirings with lawyers, and just having an x placed on a document while a victim is in a comotose state, is the only reason, I feel, " crooked" officers of the courts, would rally around this type of nonsense!
And many attorneys are fully aware of this!
But you see, wills generate probates in courts which costs lots of monies, while trusts are distributed , quietly by legal counsels to heirs, IMMEDIATELY, upon the death of the the trustee!
No court battles necessary!
Trusts, trusts, and only trusts, SHOULD BE the only way we all should go, if we truly want our assets to be distributed, to the persons we want, long after death!
