Look at you being all fancy. I need to write a will as well, would you go self written or solicitor?5

Don’t forget that as long as you leave a bit to charity as well, you can get your will done free at participating solicitors in November each year. Book ahead though as they can get busy. There’s normally a reminder in MSE news.2025 decluttering: 2,404🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅
