Remember A Charity is an organisation made up of over 100 charities and is urging the public to not use do-it-yourself Will writing kits.
Whilst they reported that around a third of people die without even making a Will, it seems that these kits can be even worse because simple mistakes mean that estates do not go to the people they should do.
Remember A Charity also warned that the costs of a the kit could outweigh the cost of opting for professional advice at the start. This is because of premium rate telephone calls that are designed as help lines, costing up to £1.50 per minute.
Our View
It is vital that everyone makes a Will. Without it, your family will not inherit what you want them to. Did you know that your spouse would not necessarily inherit everything if you die without a Will?
