MSE Poll: Do you have a will? If not, why not?

Poll started 7 March 2023

If you want to dictate where your assets go when you die, you need a will – a legal document telling everyone what should happen to your money, possessions and property. Wills can be made cheaply, and sometimes for free (see our Cheap wills guide). But do you have a will, and if not, why not?

I don't have a will because I don't have anything of value and there's only my daughter and me. So will whatever there is just go to her? She can do whatever she likes with whatever, if anything, there is and after that well, if whatever we leave behind can benefit others (she has cousins who may be able to inherit) so much the better. 

However, we are seriously considering buying the council property we live in so I think at that point it would be sensible for us both to get wills. As I'm 73 maybe the sooner the better? Oh life can be so complicated!

I do now have a will, something I should have done years ago. Free via free wills network
