Advice Needed

So sorry for you.
I agree that you need to focus on your mum, but getting a will drawn up professionally will take only a very small amount of time, and if it will add to peace of mind for you both then do so. All the "technical" stuff you need to do when DIYing gets sorted by the solicitors.
I would do what feels right NOW and keep it as simple as possible. Add in a paragraph saying that friends and relatives may choose a memento of personal significance from your estate to cover your other friends.
When all is done & dusted, consider changing your will.
Your mum is at least fortunate in having you by her side.0 -
As well as all the good advice given, I would add that if possible you should try and get your mum to tell you all sorts of things, for example about her early life, her grandparents, your childhood etc etc. Sadly one day it will be too late to find out otherwise.0
