Have you suffered from not having a will? Tell us

Hi there!

I guess that we are living in such an unstable world that everything can happen. I believe that having one's own will even at the age of 20 should be a usual thing. I don't have my own will yet but I will work on that issue a bit later.

As far as my own personal experience goes, even making a will does not guarantee that people will get what the deceased person wanted them to have.  If family members go into the property and help themselves to what they want there seems to be nothing you can do.  Police say it’s a civil matter and a solicitor just shrugged his shoulders and said “once things have gone, they’re gone and nobody can prove who took them.”  

My friend had exactly the same happen to her. Her sister helped herself to two valuable rings which were not left to her and then denied ever seeing them.
