(This is the second in a se-
ries of columns dealing with
estate planning. The first,
published on March 28,
1975, covered the reasons
for such planning and out-
lined how to compile the in-
formation which would be
needed by the estate plan-
ning expert working with
you.)
A will was a major item
on the list of the compo-
nents of a modern estate
plan.
If you recall, we stated
everyone has an "estate
plan," whether they have
deliberately made one
themselves, or not. When
you make a will, you deter-
mine how, when, and to
whom your property will be
distributed, thus exercising
your choice. If you do not
make a will, disposal of your
estate will be governed by
Michigan's arbitrary laws of
intestacy (without will).
When you make a will,
you designate your own ex-
ecutor — the person, bank,
or trust company who will
be responsible for managing
and settling your estate ac --
cording to your instruc-
tions. If a person dies with-
out a will, the court will
appoint your executor (ad-
ministrator)!!

of making a will.
Where a guardianship is
indicated for children or
dependents, your will can
name the person, persons,
or company who will man-
age "their" property after
you are gone. The will can
dispense with costly guardi-
an's bonds and accounting
requirements.
Trusts for your spouse,
children, and others can be
created by your will to pro-
tect them against loss or
dissipation of assets which
might result from their in-
experience. Trusts can also
save taxes.
You can reduce, some-
times even eliminate, estate
taxes with a will. You, not
your state's laws, specify
whose share of the estate is
to be charged with taxes.
(See next month's column
on saving federal estate and
gift taxes and probate
costs.)
Finally, make charitable
gifts by will. The federal
government encourages be-
quests to institutions such
as ours by granting an ex-
tate tax charitable deduc-
tion. Most states, including
Michigan, give similar state
inheritance tax benefits.
Just as the Allied Jewish
Campaign-Israel Emer-
gency Fund asks every
member of the Jewish com-
munity to make one gift ev-
ery year to support today's
needs, the United Jewish
Charities asks you and ev-
ery member of our Jewish
community to make one gift
— during lifetime or
through your will — to sup-
port tomorrow's needs.
C. Kenneth Sarason, sec-
retary of the JWF-UJC En-
dowment Fund, 965-3939,
would appreciate the oppor-
tunity to discuss with you
and your advisors how the
fulfillment of this responsi-
bility to your community
may be achieved.
Cong. Shaarey Zedek and
Bnai Brith are planning a
project to involve 10 couples
in a Shabat learning experi-
ence.
The project, based on the
Shabaton concept developed
by the Bnai Brith Commis-
sion on Adult Jewish Educa-
tion was designed to help
participants observe the
Sabbath as a family in the
home..
When the project begins,
the couples will spend two
Friday evenings with hosts_
who regularly conduct the
Sabbath ritual as a family.
The learning families will
also attend group sessions
to discuss written -material
and their reactions to the
visits.
The program provides
the families with informa-
tion on traditions ranging
from baking halla to per-
forming Havdala. By
means of discussions, the
families will explore ways
of adjusting their modern
lives to include the Sab-
bath tradition.
Morton Feigenbaum, na-
tional program coordinator
and member of the Bnai
Brith Adult Jewish Educa-
tion Commission will be in
Detroit to coordinate the
project.
