Franklin Square Chamber talks business and projects

The Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce held its general monthly meeting on April 19 at Carmela’s Ristorante Italiano in Franklin Square. With roughly 195 members to date, the chamber’s meetings are a networking event where fellow business owners can connect with one another while enjoying dinner together.

Lisa DelliPizzi, president of the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce, ran the recent meeting as usual and discussed strategies on how the entrepreneurs in the crowd could promote their businesses. Guest speakers are also invited to keep members up to date on the latest laws, memory and understanding. There must be two witnesses who signed in the presence of the testator and of each other. The testator must declare in front of the witnesses that they read the will, understood it, declare that it is their last will and testament and approve of the two witnesses to act as witnesses to the will. rules and regulations in business.

3. Incapacity: Even if the witnesses testify they believed that the testator was capable to sign the will, a challenge may still be made that the person was not able to read the will due to a defect of sight or was unable to understand either the will, what property they owned or who their heirs were, due to mental incapacity. These latter claims will require medical proof.

Challengers should be wary of the “no contest clause”. This provides that any beneft the challenging party would have received under the will is forfeited if the challenge is unsuccessful. If the gift was substantial, even though not an equal share, the no-contest clause is a powerful disincentive to contest the will.

At this recent meeting, DelliPizzi and other chamber officials discussed a scholarship initiative. The chamber is looking to award two $500 scholarships to one Valley Stream North High School student and another enrolled at Carey High School.

The Franklin Square Chamber Holiday Committee is also already working on raising money for the community’s annual holiday light display for Christmas time.
