I have had the privilege of working at the Camp Humphreys Legal Center for the past few months helping to run its Tax Center. I have really enjoyed helping military and civilian families prepare and � le their tax returns. I have also enjoyed being around the Legal Center staff. It reminds me of the good old days of being in private legal practice (in Raleigh, North Carolina from 1997 to 2006), and I � nd that my passion for the law has been renewed. One area the Legal Center staff spends quite a bit of time on is estate planning. I have focused on that area of law for most of my seventeen years in legal practice, and so it has been nice to see so many families seeking help from the Legal Center for their estate planning needs. Personally, I think everyone in the military, from generals down to privates, needs estate planning.

So what exactly is estate planning? Well, there are two main parts. The � rst deals with what happens upon death. The second part deals more with making decisions about who will care for you and your property if you are ever seriously ill or incapacitated. I will focus on the � rst area of estate planning (what happens upon

death) in part one of this article. Watch for a future article regarding the second part of estate planning: planning for your potential incapacity.

In its simplest terms, estate planning is the process of deciding who gets your “stuff” when you are dead. By “stuff” I mean all of your possessions, from your bank accounts and real estate down to your clothing and other personal items. The process begins by signing a legal document called a “Last Will and Testament” or simply a “will.” A will does several important things. First, it lets you decide who gets your belongings at your death and how they get it. The “who” part is probably the easiest decision. If you are a single Solider with no kids, it might be your parents or other family members, your buddies or even your favorite charity. If you are married with or without kids, it would probably be your spouse � rst, and then your children, if something were to simultaneously happen to both you and your spouse.

Once you decide who gets your possessions, the harder question is “how” they get it. This is something most folks

probably have not given much thought to but it is critically important, especially for those with young children. A common mistake people make is to assume they have to leave assets to their children outright with no restrictions. In fact, the bene� t of a will is that you get to decide just how your children receive their inheritance. Think about it. If you died today, would you want your sixteen-year-old son or daughter to inherit your estate free and clear? Probably not! Some people would not even want their twenty-two year old child to inherit their estate without some level of restrictions.

Rather than leaving assets outright to young children, parents can leave assets in the form of a trust. A trust is a legal entity that allows someone else, an adult you trust or even a bank or other � nancial institution, to look after a child’s inheritance until he or she is old enough (and � nancially responsible enough!) to receive his or her inheritance. Without a trust, all of your hard earned assets might someday be parked in your child’s driveway in the form of a very fast, very shiny new vehicle rather than in the bank earning interest. If that sounds scary, run, don’t walk to the Legal Center and ask about including trust provisions in your will.

What happens if you don’t have a will? That was a question I was asked almost daily by clients when I was in private practice. Many people believe that the government will just step in and take all of your belongings if you die without a will. The truth is that every state has a law in place that provides for the disposition of a person’s property if he or she dies without a will. Most of those laws have a hierarchy of family members who would inherit assets, generally starting with spouses and children � rst, and then moving on to parents, siblings and other extended family members. For some, the state’s default statute would probably work out just � ne but for others, it could be a nightmare. By way of example, my home state is North Carolina. In my state, if a person dies without a will, property � rst goes to a person’s spouse AND children. The AND is important because

I will focus on the � rst area of estate planning (what happens upon














most folks probably think all of the assets automatically go to a surviving spouse if there is no will, but that is not the case in North Carolina and in many other states. If you are a North Carolina resident and die without a will, your surviving spouse and children might end up sharing a portion of your estate. That is not the result most married couples would want. The lesson in that example is to leave a will. Take control of your estate and don’t rely on chance or a particular state’s default statute to decide who claims the inheritance. That is especially true as long as you remain in the military and are constantly moving from state to state, particularly considering that the state of residence, not home of record, controls where a will is administered.

Once you have a will in place, the process of estate planning is not necessarily over. It may come as a surprise, but not all of your assets are controlled by your will. Certain assets will pass to others outside of your will. For example, retirement accounts (such as your TSP or Individual Retirement Account) and life insurance (including your Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance if you are active duty) will pass directly to the individuals you have designated as bene� ciaries regardless of what your will says. For that reason, care should be taken to review all of your bene� ciary designations at the time you sign a will to make sure everything is consistent with your wishes.

If you have not yet put a will in place or have questions about bene� ciary designations for your SGLI or other assets, I strongly encourage you and to stop by the Humphreys Legal Center at your earliest convenience and talk to one of the attorneys about your options.

The Husband and I were lucky enough to visit Tokyo just a few weeks ago and the only words I can think of to sum up our trip is the Japanese word ‘Genki 元気’ [meaning health, enthusiasm and energy]. Tokyo is indeed one of those cities that never sleeps: whether you are a food lover, hipster, urban trekker, history buff or simply want to see all the sights and sounds that everyone speaks of, Tokyo will not disappoint!

We stayed at The New Sanno Hotel in the area Hiro-o, which is just a few subway stops away from downtown. The hotel was convenient, offered great food and awesome service and was de� nitely the right place for us to stay, without breaking the bank.

Navigating to wherever we needed to go was super easy. With the subway station just a 5-10 minute walk away, we simply asked the attendants located at each station’s information booth or a local for help if we got lost. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating to tourists.

TIP: Plan your day so that you can see / visit several places in one area or neighboring

areas. That way you can buy a day pass (which will save you money, because the single trip tickets add up!). Tickets can range between 600 to 1000 yen for the day, depending on which train lines you will need for the day.

Gyoen Garden, ShinjukuOddly, a lot of people that have been to

Tokyo have skipped out on this absolutely gorgeous sight.

This garden is beautiful. It’s a wonderful space for people to picnic, lunch, romance, paint or read a book. Basically it is 58.3 hectares of gorgeous greenery, right in the middle of the city. There are three styles of gardens: a French formal, an English landscape and a Japanese traditional style garden. A traditional Japanese teahouse can also be found within the gardens.

The garden is a favorite hanami (cherry-blossom viewing) spot and large crowds � ock here during cherry blossom season. During the rest of the year, you will � nd people on a bench, with an easel, painting the scenery or simply enjoying a packed lunch under a tree. The entire area feels like a scene from a movie - very surreal, breathtaking, even.

ADDRESS 11 Naitomachi, Shinjuku, Tokyo 160-0014, Japan

Kyorakutei This is a Michelin-rated soba noodle restaurant, specializing in the art of hand made soba (buckwheat) noodles. Unlike other restaurants, Kyourakutei has its own millstone, ensuring that its noodles are freshly milled on the day that they are served.

Kyourakutei also has a reputation for making some of Tokyo’s best tempura: so crispy, yet delicate. When we ordered our meal we decided to try the kamo zaru (1,600 yen) and a selection of tempura. The soba noodles were served cold, by weight and on a bamboo plate, with a warm duck meat dipping broth on the side. In Japan, the louder you slurp, the better, so we slurped up our noodles SUPER loud, to let the chef know that our meal was awesome. De� nitely some of the best soba noodles I had ever had!

Some other interesting dishes include tsuke care (cold soba dipped into a hot curry soup — 1,100 yen), kake soba with seasonal vegetables (900 yen), and cold/hot soba served with tiger shrimp, eel and vegetable tempura (2,400 yen).

Some other interesting dishes include tsuke care (cold soba dipped into a hot curry soup — 1,100 yen), kake soba with seasonal vegetables (900 yen), and cold/hot soba served with tiger shrimp, eel and vegetable tempura (2,400 yen).

Twilight Time at the Park Hyatt TokyoAfter touring and walking the city for a week, my husband and I were ready to treat ourselves. So we headed towards the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku. On the 41st � oor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo, we found a magical bamboo garden adorned with washi paper lanterns, overlooking the glittering city lights. This indoor garden / lounge was an absolutely fantastic place to hang out, let loose and enjoy the company of the wonderful man I was with.

The Peak Bar offers a selection of unlimited drinks and buffet-style canapés, with a live DJ on the weekends. They had an impressive arrangement of red, white, rosé and sparkling wines available, as well as a good selection of unlimited drinks, juices and canapés on offer.

With chef creations brought to us periodically, we were able to take our � ll of freshly made bread sticks, paté, DIY bruschetta, handmade gourmet prawn rolls, cauli� ower purée samplers, cold cuts and other antipasti favorites like cheeses and olives.

This was the perfect end to our Tokyo trip; we had lots of laughs and were blown away by the panoramic views of Tokyo by night.

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scienti� c and Cultural Organization) has designated valuable and meaningful sites as UNESCO World Heritages all around the world. They are divided into 3 categories: World Heritage Convention, Intangible Cultural Heritage and Memory of the World. Korea has ten cultural treasures classi� ed as Memory of the World and one of them is Nanjung Ilgi (War Diary of Admiral Yi Sun-sin), the journal of Yi Sun-sin (1545–1598) who is one of the most respected heroes of Korean history. The diary was written during the Japanese invasions of 1592–1598, during the Joseon Dynasty. The diary consists of seven volumes of notes written almost daily from January 1592 through November 1598, until Yi was killed in the last sea battle of the war.

Historical Background

In 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a Japanese samurai and politician who uni� ed the Japanese islands, gave the order to invade Korea. Japan had an ambition to conquer Ming Dynasty China and advance into the Asian continent, and conquering Korea was the � rst step in attaining this achievement. After the Japanese attacked Busan, Japan quickly succeeded in occupying large portions of the Korean Peninsula. King Seonjo, the 14th king of the Joseon Dynasty and historically assessed as one of its most incompetent, appointed Yi Sun-sin as a captain marine general. Immediately after, fearing Japan, Seonjo � ed to Uiju from Hanyang, the capital of Joseon and the old name of Seoul. Because of its small army and weak military power, Joseon had almost lost Hanyang.

Because the king left headquarters, there were no military strategies in place, only guerrilla warfare waged by Joseon civilian

militias. General Yi Sun-sin organized a massive military system and gathered scattered soldiers. Yi began naval operations from his headquarters at Yeosu. Despite never having commanded a naval battle in his life, he won the Battle of Okpo, the Battle of Sacheon and several others in quick succession. His string of victories made the Japanese generals suddenly wary of Joseon’s threat at sea.

Hideyoshi was fully aware of the need to control the seas during the invasion. He

increased the size of his own � eet from 15 to 1700 vessels and around 200 sailors to 200,000, assuming that he could overwhelm the Joseon navy with numerical superiority. However, Yi won all twenty-three battles he faced against Hideyoshi. There were numerous reasons why Yi was so successful against the Japanese � eets. As part of this preparation, Yi resurrected and built the turtle ship, a large Korean warship covered with thick wooden boards with sharp spikes, resembling the skin of a turtle, a considerable factor in his victories. Yi also had a great deal of information about the southern Korean coast and he planned his battles using the sea tides and narrow straits to his advantage.

Yi’s biggest victories are the Battle at Hansan Island (1592), the Battle of Myeongnyang (1597) and the Naval Battle at Noryang (1598). He died at sea in the Battle of Noryang, shot to death by an arrow near the battle’s end. His diary, written during the war, is ‘Nanjung Ilgi: A War Diary of Admiral Yi Shun’

Value of Nanjung Ilgi

The documents are the handwritten journal of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, written during the Japanese invasions of 1592-1598. It consists of 205 folio pages divided into seven volumes of notes written almost daily from January 1592 through November 1598. It describes in detail the admiral’s daily life in a military camp, daily combat situations, personal views and feelings, his strategies, the names and dispositions of various military of� cers and civil of� cials with whom Admiral Yi interacted, geographic and atmospheric

details, and his personal observations and commentary on the weather, topographical features of battle� elds and the lives of common people. The style is simple and elegant.

Entries are not continuous; there are breaks in the narrative throughout the diary, representative of periods of time in which Admiral Yi was unable to maintain daily entries while war� ghting. There is also some overlap between Volumes 5 and 6, where Admiral Yi apparently later revised earlier entries.

The diary is without equal in world history as a commander’s personal story of the battle� eld. It contains a number of poems, recited by Koreans to this day, heightening its literary value. This war diary has been widely used in modern Western countries as well as in Korea to study sea battles during the seven-year war.

Yi Sun-sin was a charismatic general and exceptional writer. His diary has been adapted into various genres: novels, movies and dramas. The novel, ‘Song of Sword’, written by Kim Hun in 2001, based on the diary, is assessed as the century’s greatest literary masterpiece. The movie ‘Myeongnyang’, also based on Nanjung Ilgi, was the most popular Korean movie last year. Though Yi Sun-sin is dead, his spiritual and tangible legacy remains in the heart of his nation, as well as in the form of many physical dedications, including statues, shrines and the original turtle ship. Yi’s heritage awakens and inspires Koreans faced with hardships.
