As no-one has died yet... has anyone thought of simply making new wills?

Over the past few years, we (my wife and I) have a lot of ill family, including children... we went on google and typed in Money Saving Expert Wills. On its guide page titled "Cheap and free wills" MSE listed a law firm in Cambridge (not allowed to name companies or firms) but its wills department is called Expert Wills. They are open at the weekends which suited us as we're still both working (we have to keep working because we lost a fortune from our pension, but that's another story), and are offering half price wills over the phone, so we snapped up their offer. They are also doing probate for just 3% for MSE consumers, and this has helped out my cousin no end after the mess she was left with... that was also a case where her daughter died before her!

If you read the opening post carefully you will see that this is not possible as far as the grandmother is concerned.
