    It is a very straightforward process but many solicitors see probate work as a license to print money.

    That's why they offer free wills - but don't be fooled - it can end up costing a fortune and many of them are not happy until they have exhausted all of the money left in the estate,

    Anyone in the family with a modicom of common sense, and trusting nature, can do it.

    Your post is spot on. Which? Money had an excellent article on this a few months ago, the worst legacy you can leave IMO is appointing a solicitor as an executor.

    Hope is not a strategy :D...A child is for life, not just 18 years....Don't get me started on the NHS, because you won't win...I love chaz-ing!
