After ending the conversation with Wan Dong, Chen Yang made another phone call and went out, this time contacting the lawyer he had entrusted when he made his will. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The lawyer's name was White. When Chen Xiaoyao and his wife were still alive, White had been their family lawyer and won the trust of Chen Xiaoyao and his wife. White was also responsible for helping Chen Yang deal with the case of receiving the inheritance before, so Chen Yang made a will for himself later, so he naturally continued to entrust it to White.

After White learned of Chen Yang's intention to modify the will, he readily agreed to arrange it. Changing a will beneficiary is relatively simple and not as time-consuming as making a new will, so it can be signed as soon as tomorrow afternoon and Monday morning at the latest.

Chen Yang thought about it, it only took less than two hours to drive from London to Manchester, and he made an appointment with Wan Dong to meet in the evening, and it was not too late for him to leave London at noon, so he told White to sign on Monday morning.

Chen Yang has verbally informed White of the content that needs to be changed in the will, and according to the usual practice, White only needs to sort it out and print it out, and finally hand over the written will to Chen Yang for confirmation and signature, which does not take up too much time. Therefore, Chen Yang did not plan to waste too much time on signing a new will, but planned to take advantage of the time that he was in London all day on Sunday to go to several private detective agencies that he had entrusted before to see if there was any new progress in their investigation over the past six months.

White repeated what Chen Yang dictated on the phone that needed to be changed, and after Chen Yang said that there was no problem, he asked with concern: "Chen, your will only distributes your movable property, but you never mentioned the immovable property in the UK. You haven't thought about it yet, have you?"

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. If this is heard in China, or if it is said narrowly, if Wang Yiyuan hears this, she will definitely say that White's statement is a bit of a curse to kill people quickly, and most of the motives are impure -- Wang Yiyuan's thinking has always been wild.

However, Chen Yang himself knew that White was not actually malicious.

From a business point of view, White has fulfilled his obligations as a lawyer, and it is necessary to remind the client of the imperfections in the will; from the perspective of personal friendship, White has worked for Chen Yang's parents for many years, and his relationship with Chen Yang is also a relative and friend, and it is understandable to care about it.

In addition, the concept of the British is indeed very different from that of the Chinese, and the Chinese may be more taboo about mentioning the word "death". But the British are different, they do not feel that there is anything wrong with making a will in advance, on the contrary, most British people feel that the unexpected is uncontrollable, and making a will in advance is a kind of responsible performance for themselves and their loved ones.

Many British people even go out on vacation before going out on vacation, will prepare a will in advance, in case of unforeseen arrival, this form of "holiday will" has recently become very popular in the United Kingdom, of course, this may be related to the frequent occurrence of air crashes in recent years and many terrorist attacks in European countries. But in China, this concept is difficult to be accepted by the public.

Previously, foreign media reported that Chinese people do not have the habit of making wills, which has become a great social problem.

Our country is the most populous country in the world, and it is also one of the countries with the highest deposit ratio and the fastest growing wealth. Because of cultural traditions, talking about death is always a taboo in China, and many people will feel that making a will is similar to cursing themselves.

The domestic media have also reported that 70 percent of the inheritance cases handled by the capital courts are due to the lack of wills, and in these cases, 60 percent of the wills challenged are invalid.

The media has warned that if people do not make a will after death, their children will destroy family relationships due to inheritance disputes, which will have a negative impact on society, so as to call on the public to pay more attention to wills.

However, due to the confinement of traditional thinking and the lack of popularization of the law, few people will take the initiative to consult a lawyer about making a will. According to media analysis, only one percent of the more than 220 million elderly people in China have drawn up a will, which is still the most optimistic estimate. Older people don't have the heart to make a will, let alone young people who feel that they are still far away from death.

Thankfully, the government is also calling on local agencies across the country to set up free legal centres to provide legal services to those over 60 years of age. China-Will-Registration-Center, a charity founded by lawyer Chen Kai, has been doing this since 2013 and has processed more than 40,000 wills for free and has become the largest probate service provider in China.

Chen Yang remembered a lot of things because of one sentence, and did not respond to White's question for a while.

Seeing that Chen Yang didn't respond, White thought that Chen Yang didn't want to mention this matter for the time being, so he sighed and said, "Okay, it's not too late for you to make a decision after you think it through." I'll help you make changes to your will about the movable property part first, and you can come to my office at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, and I will make an appointment with the witnesses at that time, and it will take effect after you confirm the signature. ”

"Oh, okay, thank you. Chen Yang was a little embarrassed that he was distracted again just now, but he didn't plan to explain anything, and after reconfirming the appointment time with White, he hung up the phone.

Chen Yang recalled the two phone calls just now, thought about it, and even felt a little funny. I was separated from Wang Yiyuan yesterday, flew from China to the UK, and talked to Wang Yiyuan on the phone at noon, why didn't I think of her for a long time?

When Wan Dong mentions the sculptures, he will guess what Wang Yiyuan's reaction will be if she sees the sculptures, and when White asks about the will, she will also guess what Wang Yiyuan's response will be if she hears those words.

Chen Yang, who had already gotten up and sat on the edge of the bed, fell back on the bed, holding his head in his hands, and muttered in his mouth: "It's over, it's over, I've been poisoned by that moldy girl!"

Looking at the time on the phone, it is already past eight o'clock in the evening local time, and it is already more than three o'clock in the morning in China, which is when most people are asleep, and it is obviously not a good time to call back to China.

Giving up the idea of calling back to China, Chen Yang got up and ate some snacks that he bought when he went out at noon, and then went back to bed and continued to sleep to adjust the jet lag.
