Hi Wilson, I can't help with your question unfortunately, but you might get a good response on the Silver Savers (over 50s) board if you post your query on there too. I had a will related question previously and I found them very helpful on that board.

My mother and i have made wills at our solicitor leaving our estate to each other on the event of death.I f my mother survives me her estate will pass to my young when he is 30 hes only 6 at the moment and i wouldnt want him to get his hands on any money at a young age as it can lead to problems.Its a simple will with a house and some savings to be left by my mother,our solicitor is the executor of the will the cost of setting up the wills was quite expensive and im now thinking how much it will cost when the solicitor acts as exectutor in the future as the cost of this wasnt really explained all though know there hourly fee but i have no idea if it will be a fixed fee or how many hours of work would be needed,we should have asked but we were stressed out when at the solicitors office.
Im wondering if maybe i should change the will and become the executor as its quite a simple will although the bit about my son and his trust might be helped by a solicitors if my mother and i are no longer here,im just worried about major fees down the line,could anyone tellme if they have any ideas as to whats my best option,my mums 71 and im 36 but i do live a fast life and get in a few scrapes looking on the dark side but i may live to a 100 you never know.

How can you live like that if you have a young son? What would happen to him if something happened to you?
