  \textbf{Instructions for the care and feeding of your will}\\

\begin{enumerate}
\item It almost goes without saying.  Read everything and make sure you
  understand it.
\item \textbf{Very Important:}  Sign your Will while in the presence of three
  attesting witnesses, and have them sign in your presence and in the presence
  of each other -- just like it says above the signature lines.  If all four
  signatures are not witnessed by all four people at the same time, it's
  invalid.  Not all states require three witnesses, but three should be
  sufficient just about anywhere.
\item Witnesses do not have a right to read your Will; they should be
  permitted to read the attestation clause, since that is what they are
  signing, but it is not customary and is unreasonable for witnesses to expect
  to read the body of a Will.
\item For reasons that I will not go into here, it is best to not bequeath
  anything to your witnesses.  It won't make the Will invalid, but it might
  complicate things.
\item Some states allow your will to be self-proving. This involves having you
  and your witnesses sign it in front of a notary public.  I will not discuss
  the procedure here, but you can find out more about it online.
\item Keep your will in a safe place where it can be easily found after your
  death.  You can make photocopies, but the signed original will be required
  in order to probate your estate.
\item Do your executor a favor, and list the name, address, and phone number
  of all the people or organizations you mention in your will on a seperate
  piece of paper.
\item If there are major changes in your life, make a new will and have it
  witnessed.  Be sure to destroy the original and all copies of any previous
  wills.  Major changes include: having or adopting a child, moving to another
  state, the death of anyone named in your will, a change of marital status,
  and a significant change in the property you own.
\item Don't make any handwritten changes to this will.  That is a good way to
  make the whole thing invalid.
\item By all means, when in doubt see a lawyer.  I wouldn't expect my attorney
  to start generating PERL code, so don't expect yourself to start writing
  legalese.

to this will that is not passed by specific bequest or that is specifically
left to or becomes a part of my residuary estate when a beneficiary of a
specific bequest fails to survive me. The term "residuary bequest" means a
