1 answer:

3 0

(1) If a will has been lost or destroyed under circumstances such that the loss or destruction does not have the effect of revoking the will, the court may take proof of the execution and validity of the will and establish it, notice to all persons interested having been first given. The proof must be reduced to writing and signed by any witnesses who have testified as to the execution and validity, and must be filed with the clerk of the court.

(2) The provisions of a lost or destroyed will must be proved by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence, consisting at least in part of a witness to either its contents or the authenticity of a copy of the will.

(3) When a lost or destroyed will is established under subsections (1) and (2) of this section, its provisions must be distinctly stated in the judgment establishing it, and the judgment must be recorded as wills are required to be recorded. A personal representative may be appointed by the court in the same manner as is herein provided with reference to original wills presented to the court for probate.

Motivational interviewing is designed to explore and resolve the ambivalence people naturally feel about a lifestyle change

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

A- True

Explanation:

Motivational Interviewing is a technique in helping clients find the motivation to make positive decisions.

This technique facilitates exploration of conflicts that could come up at different stages of the process that could cause a hindrance to progress.

For example, in the case of narcotic abuse, persons affected are usually aware of the dangers of their behavior but continue to use substances anyway. They may have the will to stop but may not want to at the same time. They realize the need to enroll in a recovery programme but see their condition as not being serious. These opposing feelings are known as ambivalence, and they are natural, regardless of the client's state of readiness. Acceptance of the patient's ambivalence is an important part of the recovery process and it could be a cause of lack of motivation in the patient during the recovery process.

PLEASE HELP!!! Which goal of American foreign policy do you think is most important? Write a paragraph explaining why.

NeTakaya

Personally, i think being nice and getting along with all our neighbors so they dont have any intentions of bombing us is important.

Definitely not constantly bombing other countries and deposing world leaders we dont like which will cause foreign combatants to employ guerilla tactics (since, america already has a decent military and no one is going to stand infront of the big guns)

its much more complicated than what i mentioned above and you definitely shouldnt copy and paste this, but here's just some suggestions
