Getting a will in place, just incase

localhero

Hi Mummyjay,

The important thing is to make your wishes clear in a will. Some people appoint more than 1 guardian to act jointly. It just depends upon your circumstances.

I'm glad this thread has been useful.

When we appointed guardians for our boys, we made it clear to them that we didn't necessarily expect them to take them in themselves, but just to work with SS and the families to make the best decisions for our boys, which would depend on how old they were at the time. Clearly when they were younger then keeping them together and as little disrupted as possible would have been my priority (not that I'd have been there to ensure it, of course!) but now the younger two are teenagers and the oldest is at Uni what THEY want is going to have to be listened to, should the need arise!

Barclays Bank Additions account (fee £11.50per month) offers a free will-writing service as part of their benefits. Is it worth opening an account, getting the will drawn up then closing the account? Even if it took two months, this would cost £23 (assuming you were accepted for the account)

To OP if you are on a low income such as income support speak to a Public Funding (legal aid) lawyer and ask about getting a Will done under the Legal Help Scheme - thats the old name for green form.
