Making a will

[vtecstu]

Wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the easiest / quickest / cheapest way to make a will...? Not planning on death in the near future, but as a homeowner etc I know it's probably something I should have in place.

Mods - Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I couldn't see anything relating to non-motoring legal stuff, and searching for 'will' came back with pretty much every single thread ever written!

Cheers!

Stu.

Cheers for responses so far. Didn't realise you could get DIY ones - assumed there would be a solicitor involved and would cost me £100+.

Intrigued to hear more on DIY ones 'not being valid' though before I go and sort one. As commented above, I think I'm pretty straightforward as far as this goes - my house and mortgage are just in my name, although I do live with my girlfriend - just wanting to make sure she's not shafted if things go badly wrong at some point...!

can do diy ones but there are a few things needed to make a will valid and they need to be clear, often people with DIY wills don't do things as clearly as they should and are often open to debate hence being invalid.

if its simple you could try but for about £75 i think there are professional will companies that can do them.

Cool - that does make sense. Think am gonna go down the DIY route still - just make sure I'm even more anal than I have to be as a bean-counter at work!

Cheers again for the advice, all.
