    Ooh, hello all, and thanks for the tips! Definitely looking to leave some to charity, so will have a look into that 👍

    I don't think there's necessarily any need to leave something in your will to a charity to make use of the "free" will writing service. Our local solicitor drew us up a straightforward mirror will for a donation of £50 (from memory) when we got ours done after DD was born. We'll probably update it in November once DD2 arrives.
