Show us your will

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Y'know I started writing one via a free service provided as an employer 'perk'. But all the questions about who will look after my pets and who else will look after my pets should option 1 die made me sad. So I cried a little and gave up.

Yes, I'm that pathetic.

Won't matter once I'm dead,
Once all the paper work is done...in simple terms you take the death cert round to the bank and a hold is put on the account.
Then the will goes to probate, many weeks and £££ later.
The executors get the cash to disperse as per instructions

I’ll take an fish you have off you if that makes you feel any better?

Don’t need to show it but anyone got anything interesting in their will?

Does anyone not have a will?

Think it was @Rita_Poon best mate Martin Lewis saying the other day that a power of attorney is more important than a will.

With threads on pensions and asteroids hitting the earth, I’m getting worried. Get your will out and sort it.

Did mine last summer, a free will via a well known charity. Needs to be amended as no reference in it if any of the beneficiaries pre-deceases me, and one has . Not having a missus my estate will be split between family, friends, and a couple of charities I support. It's only when you do something like that you realise what you are worth (dead), especially if you own your house/car etc. It all adds up.

I don't have a Will and have no intention of making one. What happens to my money once I've died is not my problem.

My missus' family keep asking me in shocked tones, why I don't have life insurance. I point out that instead I have the money throughout my lifetime, that i haven't handed over to the insurance companies, when I was single with no dependents. By the time the missus was lucky enough to marry me, I had a house with no mortgage ... so if I pop me clogs she gets the lot, the cars, the hifi and everything I'd earned and saved, with no bills or debts. She'll also get a portion of my pension. Lucky girl!

She has life insurance but has specified it all goes to her daughter. I'm fine with that. If I had life insurance too I'm pretty sure she'd have claimed it by now and I'd be under the patio.

In my will, it all goes to my missus, bar some bits of hifi to mates and some family things to nephews and neices etc. I guess I should think about amending it for the event that we both go together in some kind of workshop related fireball.

It's worth doing a Will if only to avoid the Government getting their grubby mitts on your money should you die intestate and with no immediate heirs to benefit. Used to watch Will Hunters and it was surprising how many people passed away without providing a Will. Mind you, it also pee'd me right off when they traced remote members of family who were entitled to part of the deceased's estate and who probably hadn't seen or even given a thought about the deceased for decades but who were all gushing over 'old uncle Fred' or whoever when they discovered they were in for a windfall. They couldn't wait to try and dig out old sepia photos as some sort of proof as to how close they all were but didn't even know how or when they had died. Quite sad and hypocritical in my eyes.

And dont forget all the power of attorney letters banks etc want off you,
If there copies they must be signed and certified too if i remember rightly

I got no will or power of attorney. I got two of those pension plans which pay out when I die to be shared by my two sons. It will pay for funeral and give then a couple of grand each to do what they want with

 

[degsy]

The laser said...gist...the will covers the legal requirements but can't go into too much detail and that you're best writing - as long as as detailed as you wish - A Letter of Intention
Which is to give ' the spirit of the law' rather than the will's ' Letter of the Law'

So I got this of Temu



Who to contact, addresses phone emails
Pensions insurance usernames passwords etc etc
Everything they need to know
Plus the all ramblings...and while I remember - don't invite that miserable so and so xxxxxxx

Edit. You're gonna die anyway so you might as well have a laugh while you're at it

All this thread title needed was the addition of a ‘y’ at the very end.

Anyone thought about hiring one of those companies that clean your gaff of any compromising items in the event of your death?

Put GOT in your wills.

You can put a stipulation of a permanent ban of any member in order for GOT to claim it. Smite your enemies from beyond the grave.

“changes will asap”
