Wood Shavings or Gold Shavings
Free
Wood Shavings or Gold Shavings is a faith-informed legal reflection on the professional value of wills, intestacy, and estate administration.
Addressed to law graduates, parents, mothers, and the Unique Women of Faith community, the article encourages readers to recognise the hidden worth in ordinary opportunities and to use legal knowledge for family protection, social service, and responsible legacy planning.
Blending biblical references with practical legal guidance, it explains key concepts such as testamentary capacity, codicils, legacies, executors, probate, and Letters of Administration, while warning against the risks of dying intestate.
The article ultimately presents estate planning as an act of foresight, peace, stewardship, and care for future generations.
