Answer to Question 1

If Ella cannot sign her name, her best options is to place an X where her signature would go, or she could have someone sign her name at her direction if she had witnesses there who would attest to the process. Ella probably should have a formal will with an acknowledgement because of her age and the need for verification of her signature. Those witnesses, although not required, should also probably be disinterested witnesses. That is, they should not be beneficiaries under the will so that questions do not arise. Further, the witnesses should be able to attest to Ella's sound mind and capabilities at the time she makes her will. It would be helpful if those witnesses are likely to survive Ella so that they can attest for the will and signature.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
