Would this DIY Will pack work?

    You wouldn't need to get it changed every time - if you clearly tell the solicitor what you are planning, s/he can draft it so that it will cover all those events.

    Its not about when things are less complicated, its more about if we were to spend over a hundred pounds now on getting a solicitor to do a Will, then in 2 years time we would have to pay out more money to change it when another child comes along, then maybe one more, and then we will get married and have to pay out again to change the Will. Which is why we thought about doing a DIY one now, then once we are married and have had all our children, do a final one through a solicitor.

    Why do you think that you will have to change the will whenever you have another baby? A well-written will has clauses that will take into account any further children you have. In the same way it will say what you want to happen if any of your children predecease you without leaving children of their own or leaving offspring.

    That's the kind of thing you pay for when you get a will done professionally.
