Making a will

[drivin_me_nuts]

Can some one please tell me the quickest and most direct way of doing this.

I need to sort this our ASAP and I do not have the luxury of time.

Cheers

You can get a kit in Smiths, or there is a site, something like 10minutewills.co.uk, which my folks are looking at.

Quickest way is to write it down with two witnesses who do not benefit from the will.

You can get Will Kits in shops like WH Smith though I believe as well.

DON'T write it yourself, it'll be worthless

Quick Google of local solicitors office, pay £120 and get a proper one done

[drivin_me_nuts]

Thanks fo the advice. Will call a solicitor today. Life sometimes is an utter utter bh.

Agreed. First thoughts when it come to wills are usually 'how hard can it be?'

Once you have been through the process with a solicitor you discover the answer; Very.

If you do a bit of research you may find that's a bit insensitive.

Everything okay?

[Summertime]

That was why i was asking i was not trying to be funny!

[Adenauer]

I just actually used my brain and had a look elsewhere.

I wish you and your other half all the very best.

Agreed....but a diy WH Smiths one will get you thinking of sorting the basics out...then go to the solicitors and get it done properly
There's just so much to consider, from writing down all the assets/bank accounts/pensions/life insurance policies/isas/premium bond/shares how you want your funeral to be conducted etc.
I've had a diy WH Smiths one for years, and still haven't filled it out, it's about time I did...and then the trip to the solicitors should be cheaper

Reading the OP I see summertime's line of thought but yes a check on the OP's other thread will reveal all.
My thoughts go out to the OP and partner.

[Adenauer]

Actually that sounded bad, I meant 'used my brain' as in I don't use it very often. It was not meant as a dig at summertime

Wills are usually read after the funeral so stick to bequests.

Given the OPs previous threads there's only one conclusion to be drawn.

All the best DmN. And unenviable situation for you both and I hope you find happiness somehow.

We have one, the advice I got was that they're adequate for simple wills but anything remotely complicated needs a solicitor.

A will will usually include any wishes for any specific arrangements for a funeral.
