Salvation Army offers public free booklet on wills, estate planning

When you die, you must leave behind everything for which you have worked and saved. The ques- tion is, "To whom?"

If you have a will, you leave in- structions to others to act according to your wishes. If you do not have a will, the state will simply distribute your estate according to law.

Without a will, the state may de- termine the disposition of your as- sets, welfare of your spouse and guardianship of your children.

Probate costs, taxes, and fees may increase. Moreover, family members left behind are often at a complete loss and confusion cripples better judgment.

The Salvation Army offers a free

booklet on wills and estate planning. The booklet is intended to demon- strate that many of the ideas and opinions about wills are entirely wrong.

Also available by request is ad- ditional information on examples of estate planning, what specifically does one need to know about estate- planning, who needs to do estate planning, using trusts in an estate plan, setting goals and objectives, avoiding mismanagement of assets by unskillful heirs, pre-planning for incapacity, and reducing taxes.

To receive a copy of the will booklet, call toll-free (800) 569- 1765.

Foot Facts

By Dr. Eric Tepper, Podiatrist GOUT

Gout occurs from an accumulation of uric acid in the joints that causes pain and swell- ing. Excess uric acid can result from the liver producing more uric acid than can be ex- creted in the urine or from a rich-food diet that pushes more uric acid into the bloodstream than the kidneys can filter. The excess uric acid crystallizes and settles in joint spaces. The big toe and the ankle are the most commonly affected joints. Inflammation, tenderness, and swelling cause intense pain when the area is touched or moved. Even something as light as a bed sheet can hurt. To diagnose gout, fluid is drawn from the joint with a needle, then examined and tested.

Listen to your feet. They often have lots of things to tell you, including giving you clues about the rest of your body's well-being. When your feet tell you there's trouble, as your podiatrist, we will work as a team with you, and other health care providers if appropriate, to keep you and your feet healthy and pain-free. From gout to ingrown nails, from aging feet to baby's little toes, we offer foot care for the family at Rice Medical Center. PH: (979) 234- 5571. Office hours are on Tuesdays.

P.S. Patients with gout are asked to limit the amount of uric acid in their diets by con- suming less alcohol and rich foods.
