Wills

You know, the when you die stuff!!

I haven't updated mine since 1066 :ooo. What's the best way, solicitor, or are the Post Office ones OK (do they still do them? They seem to be busy 'doing' Wendy Richards :yikes:).

With all the accounts & passwords we now have on the internet, can you imagine how the family would sort it all out if you dropped dead?

You must have just got a really expensive birthday present or some bad news from the doctor to the thinking about wills

It was the news about that Aussie accident, you know, 'Accidental death'....which means he was well aware of what he was doing :rolleyes:

Anyway, he's left a bit of a mess with no will to cover his recent life.

Solicitor is the nly way to if you want to keep as much dosh as possible out of the govts hands....the PO one is fine if youve only got £34.95 in a building soc. account....

What happens to money that people have stored in places like betfair and other such accounts when they die? I know some people with quite a few quid in there, but I doubt their wife knows the passwords etc.

It would be traceable by deposits or withdrawals through bank statements, i guess then an offical letter from the Solicitor dealing with the deceased estate would suffice..

That's one of the points I'm making. Probably best to right down all your online user/passwords and have them stored in the Will with a solicitor, or put in a bank box.
