Simon and I are off to the solicitors today to have our wills made! Not that we have tons of assets or anything, but we do want to have something in place for the baby in case, god forbid, something happens to both of us.
I know some people who refuse to make a will. They think it is tempting death, or something. How incredibly stupid is that?
Did I stupid? I meant stupid and selfish.
The only way to guarantee that your belongings, whether worth £1,000,000 or £10, go to whom you want in a timely manner is to have a will drawn up. Without it your estate can be tied up for years in the courts, eaten away by legal fees and such. What a horrible legacy to leave for your descendants.
Not that wills are never contested, of course. But everyone should have one, regardless.
And, certainly, anyone with children should have, in writing, in legal terms, who is to look after the children if something should happen to the parents.
Anyone who doesn’t is stupid, selfish and a fool.
Glad to read you’re not opinionated:)
