Re: Have You Made Your Will?
I made a will a couple of months ago because when my mum passed away it was a free for all! Close family were rooting through her stuff, holding things up asking who wanted this and that!It will NOT happen when I go, I've made my solicitor the executor and he will oversee everything, arrange to sell my house and see that the proceeds will go to my named charities and my sister. He will also make arrangements for my cat to go to Cat's Protection as I've sorted out her future with them and they will find her a home because they will benefit from my will, pretty much all sorted!
He will also arrange my funeral, I've given him all the necessary information so he knows which undertaker to use, quick prayer at the Crematorium followed by cremation and my ashes to be placed in the garden of remembrance.
I feel relieved knowing that there will be no interference from family and my wishes will be followed to the letter

Re: Have You Made Your Will?
I dithered so long about making a will, but having done so, I'm glad I did. I've even asked for specific music which was special to me and OH.I also intend to leave a letter to each of my grand-daughters and their parents - nothing morbid, but something to express my love for them when I can no longer say it in person. My Dad did this for me and my Mum and it brought a little bit of comfort.

Re: Have You Made Your Will?
I made a Will years ago and then had a bit of money to leave.Now after my lovely holidays and trips away, giving people money
who were skint I don't have any to leave. Only cash left is
my funeral money in the bank.
I have my music ready like you Honey but I put in on a CD already.
I did about 30 years ago write letters to my Sons and Friends but it
might be a little out of date now. Telling them all I was in the big disco
in the sky and saying have a wake with some of my money might be
wrong now.
In d'house and share a bottle of wine is now more appropriate
