Help’s at hand

HELP’S AT Hand, a_ weekly
feature by the North Shore Infor-
mation and Volunteer Centre, an-
swers questions about and
discusses such tcpics as govern-
ment policies and programs,
benefits, consumer and _ legal
rights, taxation and public  ser-
vices.

Answers published in this col-
umn are intended only as a general

Question: I made a will a few
years ago, signed it, had it proper-
ly witnessed and put it into my
safety deposit box.

I assumed that I had done
everything right and that I
wouldn’t have to worry about it
again, but now a friend tells me
that I should have registered the
will in Victoria.

Is this true and how do I do it?

Answer: A correctly drawn-up
will is valid whether or not it is
registered. If your executor: is a
close relative who lives near you
and knows where you keep your
will or has a copy of it, it may not
be necessary to register the will.

The registry for wills has moved
from Victoria and is now at the
Division of Vital Statistics, 800
Hornby St., in Vancouver, tele-
phone 660-2937.

While it is not mandatory to file
a Wills Notice it is strongly
recommended. The law requires
your executor or administrator to
conduct a Wills Notice search be-
fore a Letters of Probate can be
granted.

Having the will registered assists
the administrators of the estate in
determining not only where the
will may be stored (bank safety
deposit box, desk drawer, etc.) but
also which of possible several
documents is actually the iast will
and testament of the deceased.

You can obtain a notice form
from Vital Statistics at the Van-
couver address or by writing to the
Division of Vital Statistics, 200-200
E. 23rd St., North Vancouver,
V7L 4R4, telephone 660-1268 (the
hours for the North Vancouver of-
fice are Monday, Wednesday and
Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.)

Once you have completed the
form and returned it along with
the $10 filing fee, Vital Statistics
will send you an acknowledgement

which you should keep with your
will, If you should revoke or
change the location of your will,
you should complete the ap-
propriate section of the same form
and follow the same procedure as
with the original filing.

Question: Whenever I see a let-
ter where someone has written of
their deep concern about the rights
of ihe elderly or disabled, legal in-
justice, about the environment,
toxic waste, pollution, recycling or
other vita! issues, I, too, want to
let myself be heard.

If ail of us write letters and lob-
by about any problem that could
be solved by private, corporate,
municipal, provincial or federal
action, this would become a better
world to live in, and we would
have the gratification of knowing
that we did everything within our
power towards this.

But I do not know how to get
the addresses of such officials as
Premier Vander Zalm and other
elected officials, or such persons as
the president of Canada Post Cor-
poration or EXXON. Where can I
get such information?

Answer: You can get addresses
for anywhere from the Vancouver
Public Library Directory Informa-
tion at 665-3360. The library will
also give you the correct form of
address for officials, such as Your
Worship, or Honorable for exam-
ple.

It would be a good idea to make
photocopies of your letter to send
to the news media and appropriate
organizations asking for their sup-
port and lobbying strength. You
can list these at the bottom of your
letter for extra emphasis.

For instance, you should send a
copy of any letter concerning the
rights of the disabled to the
Premier’s Advisory Council for the
Disabled, Room 224, 800 Hornby
St., Vancouver, B.C., V6Z 2C5.

If you need more information
we can put you in touch with the
volunteer who answered your

question.
