    This is nothing to do with pensions, post over on the deaths, probate and funerals board.

    Hoping you are not going to do a DIY will  -   solicitors like them.

    Does WH Smith still do a will pack?

    If you really don't like the people who will administer your estate or want to cause your loved ones a complete headache (and probably a big solicitor bill for your estate) when you're gone...  Then DIY.

    If on the other hand you'd like a will that is correctly drafted, so easy for your executors to administer.... fork out the couple of hundred a solicitor will charge to do it properly.

    Although this is a money saving site, none of the regulars on this board are going to recommend you DIY your will unless your estate is very small with no property.

    A few hundred spent with a local solicitor could save your beneficiaries a lot more if you make a mess of DIYing ir or fail to take into account all the what if situations that could happen between making a will and dying.

    Just imagine - I leave my property 13 Acacia Avenue to my friend John Smith  ..............................   30 years on when you pop your clogs, you don't own Acacia Avenue anymore , you now know a couple of John Smiths .    etc

    You don't even need to spend any money on a solicitor, loads of charities do free wills with a local solicitor. This will be fine for you as I'm assuming your will is a very simple one that's why you are thinking of doing DIY?
