My mother did estate law for many many years
At my wedding reception to my husband almost 20 years ago my mother had my will,my husband's will and my son's will all prepared and to be signed post wedding service and pre wedding breakfast.
We are a small family, now with a grandchild, and our wills from our wedding are still appropriate
Once my husband retires we shall be changing our house title so we can leave our respective shares to my son (my husband has no children he is the wicked stepfather)
Our estate currently goes only to up to grandchildren level
Like many others here we are spending up .
My son already received quite a substantial inheritance from my parents at my request
However this also means he is getting an empty bank account , a house, a few bits and pieces when husband and I both die
Also if I die and my husband remarried I have protected a portion of my estate as I am leaving it directly to my son
I have heard many many horror stories of wills poorly prepared.
As you can see so many things can go awry even with a simple inheritance of cash and property
I do hope you are able to sort yours out simply
