Do you have a Will?

No

No Will, but I do have a Way.

No

I don't have a will. I have no money or assets to leave to anyone.

FreeBear

Yes

Even although I am single and without children, I have a will - Don't want the !!!!!! in the closet getting anything under the rules of intestacy, so would rather leave it all to the local cat sanctuary.

Also watch out for the outfits that charge an annual fee to store your will. A reputable solicitor will do it for free even if they haven't been appointed as executors.

No will, nothing to leave, I have just about enough for a cheap basic funeral.My kids know and understand this.

Yes

Make the main beneficiaries the executor(s), they can always pay for legal advice if they need it, but they can shop around and can get rid of a rubbish/slow/expensive solicitor.

I was my father's executor, and am named as my mother's. There isn't anything very complicated about most people's wills. I estimate it took me about 30 hours over the course of four or five months to settle the estate. I didn't require any 'expert' advice.

No

I don't have a will and keep debating whether to get one. I've no kids, no partner. I have no real estate, no possessions of value, very little in the way of investments and modest savings. The only good thing I don't have is debt.
If I made a will it'd be in anticipation of things changing, but right now, listing it all is pointless. The funeral would take everything and then it's to the bin with my stuff.

Depressing.
