 The opening clause is fairly standard. It identifies the will-maker, gives their place of residence and may state their occupation:
-* '''SAMPLE:''' “This is the last will of me, [name], of [address], British Columbia.” (See 2020 CLEBC ''Wills Personal Planning Precedents'', 1.5).
+'''SAMPLE:''' “This is the last will of me, [name], of [address], British Columbia.” (See 2020 CLEBC ''Wills Personal Planning Precedents'', 1.5).
 Though the last testamentary disposition of property is generally the effective one, it is standard practice to insert a general revocation clause that revokes all previous wills and codicils. This clause should be included even though the will-maker has never before made a will. It follows the opening clause.
-* '''SAMPLE:''' “I revoke all my prior wills and codicils.” (2020 CLEBC ''Wills and Personal Planning Precedents'', 1.11).
+'''SAMPLE:''' “I revoke all my prior wills and codicils.” (2020 CLEBC ''Wills and Personal Planning Precedents'', 1.11).
 '''The revocation clause will not revoke other non-will testamentary dispositions''' such as designations made on insurance policies, RRSPs, etc. It is more effective to designate the estate as the beneficiary to such policies or RRSP if the will-maker wishes for these monies to fall into the estate.
