As part of a long running argument in the office - I would love to get some figures on what %age of the population has a will - and the main reason for not having one.
Your input would be appreciated and whilst not being entirely representative would still be worth knowing!!!

Certainly do. And yes, it was expensive, but I wouldn't feel happy without one. OH and I did ours first when we weren't married and our first child was born, then we had to redo them when we got married, and we had 2 children by that point.0

What about a simple NO as an answer?Well I Love Tv And I Love T. Rex, I Can See Through Your Skirt I've Got X-Ray Spex0

Agree with Artofdookie. A simple no for me.0

I haven't at the moment, really need to get one done. The reason being that I have no children and my next of kin aren't exactly close. I want what I have to go to charity, not line the pockets of someone who doesn't give two sh*ts about me. Unfortunately being unemployed right now it's on the backburner, but it's on my list of things to do once I have some cash.0

No
I was going to get one when i bought my house, but then got engaged - so it would be invalidated anyway.
Will do one after I get marriedWeight loss challenge, lose 15lb in 6 weeks before Christmas.0 -
Yes, we made the will when we had our first child. Needed to make sure everything is sorted in case something happens to either one (or both) of us.
All financials sorted and also our preference for custody of our kid if something happens to both of us.
As both of our families are living abroad it was a complicated affair, but glad that we got it sorted.0
