さる10月27日、日中韓トーストマスターズ合同例会で発表したスピーチの全文です。
Dear Chinese, Korean and Japanese Toastmasters. Good afternoon !
I hope most of you have already seen this kind of poster somewhere in your country.
2020 is not only the year of the Tokyo Olympic & Paralympic Games, but also the year for me to reach the celebrating age of 70, generally called guxi in Chinese goheui in Korean and Koki in Japanese which is originated from a Chinese poem and means very rare to be alive by this age.
So I believe it may be a time for me to think about handing over my assets to my
descendants.
Let me share my family’s case on this subject with you.
It was 12 years ago when my wife suddenly passed away in an accident in New Zealand where I was working for the Japanese Consulate.
She was a lady of business oriented and left quite a lot of money behind in a local bank. So I visited the bank to withdraw her money several days after her funeral.
“What can I do for you, Sir.”
“Will you help me close my wife’s account.”
“Sure, can I ask the reason?”
“Because she has recently died.”
“Well, in that case, please show me her last will and your ID to confirm your are the right person to inherit. ”
“Oh! As it happened so sudden that she couldn’t make it.”
“Then we have to ask you additional documents such as all the copies of her family register from her age of 16 to now in order to make sure that she has not been married with someone else other than you. ”
“Nonsense! I have never suspected her and still trust her. I swear I am the only
husband for her. So please omit such complicated procedure.”
“Sorry, it is not a matter of ethics but just a law requirement. ”
I had no way but to prepare all the documents needed. It took as long as 2 months. But that was not enough to finish the procedure. I had to wait another 3 months for
public announcement before I could withdraw cash and close her account.
It was a moment of truth when I realized that my wife’s assets did not automatically
belong to me unless she admitted it.
Learned from this experience, I immediately made my last will at a local lawyers’ office.
This is my Last Will that reads I appoint my daughter Nami sole executrix and trustee of my will and I give all my estate to her …and so on.
Now it may be your turn to be prepared for any sudden inheritance to make it easier and faster.
Wish you a happy inheritance.
Toastmaster!
