This Is Official
AT ANY TIME during the war you may expect
a sudden change of station. You will want to
know that your family is being protected during
your absence. Now is the time to arrange your
personal affairs—and theirs; you may be too busy
later on. This series of articles will help you to do
so. The material is taken from the War Depart­
ment’s booklet, “Personal Affairs <«f Military Per­
sonnel and Their Dependents,” and is therefore offi­
cial. Of course, all laws arc subject to change. To
keep the record straight, each section that follows
will indicate the date on which the specific laws
were in effect.—Ed.
General Preparations
action, beleaguered or besieged, interned in a neutral country, or cap­
tured by an enemy.
b. Analyze all of your insurance policies to insure that your bene­
ficiaries are indicated as you desire and that your dependents will
receive the protection for which you have paid or will pay premiums.
This includes automobile insurance. (See sec. XVII.) If your military
service is likely to cause a lapse of a commercial insurance policy, de­
termine your rights to protect such insurance under the Soldiers’ and
Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1940. (See sec. XVI.)
13. Estate«.—Analyze your estate. It is considered advisable, where
practicable and where no pertinent statutory provisions are involved,
to make such arrangements as will permit your estate to pass to the
control of your wife and or dependents on your death without probate.
Title of real estate, personal property, stocks, bonds, etc., should be
investigated and changed where not found to be desired. (See secs. XII
and XVII.)
14. Wills.—Consideration should be given to the making of a will
disposing your estate in accordance with the laws of your local resi-
dence. (See sec. XL)
15. Financial and business status.—Analyze your financial con-
tract obligations, and if unable to liquidate any or all of them by rea-
son of reduced income caused by your military service, determine your
rights under the provisions of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act
of 1940. (See sec. XVI.)
IS. Income taxes. Make yourself familiar with your obligations
concerning tax returns and payments. Assemble a record of pertinent
information showing cost, dividends, sales of stock and bonds, and
other sources of income for income tax purposes. Include copies of your
last tax return filed. (See sec. XVIII.)
17. Assistance for needy dependents.—If your family is in need, you
may apply for assistance at the Army Emergency Relief Section at your
post, ramp, or station. (See sec. XX.) Your chaplain may assist you in
this respect. (See sec. XXL) Under other conditions, contact with an
American National Red Cross field director will obtain assistance for
you and your family. (See sec. XXII.)
18. Important papers.—If you have in your possession or have easy
access to birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, na­
turalization papers, etc., assemble them with other important papers
and documents. In the event anything happens to you, such certificates
and affidavits will be required to substantiate claims, and it will be of
material help to your dependents and beneficiaries to have ready ac­
cess to them. However, if you do not already possess them, to avoid the
trouble and the cost of obtaining in advance certified copies of such
public records which may never be used, it will be wise not to under­
take such a plan unless you have the time and money to spare for
required fees. The Veterans Administration is prepared to assist your
dependents and beneficiaries if and when necessary. This does not apply
to certified public records required as documentary proof when appli­
cation is made for benefits under the Servicemen’s Dependents Allow-
unre Act of 1942. (Sec sec. XV.)
