Yes we have. A good friend of my daughter`s , actually her ex `s friend , a man age 60, has left 1/2 his estate to her (she`s 29 ).He lives in a bought council house with his mother , has never married , his brother is well off, so he decided to will 1/2 to my daughter .If his mother dies he will sell his house and move to a small rented flat and my daughter knows all this. He is so kind. So she may have -our 2 properties , her own and Bill`s --in years to come !!!

My Dad is like that! He keeps going on about what he is leaving to who and yet he never actually does a will! He is 80 next month and not in the best of health, but I think he feels it's tempting fate if he makes a will. It isn't but it will leave things in one heck of a mess if he doesn't!

Yes, last year.
As soon as I had done it I felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It took too many years to 'get round' to making it and a health scare to actually do it. Comforting to know the right people will get what you have worked for all of your life.

That's good. But with all your hospital shenanigans it was slightly concerning!!!!

No, Sally, not at all :¬)).... but I know there are people who really do feel it is morbid.... members of my own family believe that I have just signed my death warrant, lolol Sorry if you thought I had taken offence.... certainly hadn't lol!

Love

Sally am ok mate

I have to clarify my 'morbid' statement.
Making a will is essential and as some have said not at all morbid.
I was referring to the fact that Hoff seemed to be concentrating on death tonight in some of his threads. So I hope no-one thinks I was having a go at people who have and are making wills. :)

Made our first wills at 17 and 19 years of age... and have updated them regularly since.... in hubby's job it was essential.

Now that I have a life threatening illness, which requires life threatening treatment to zap it.... we have just updated them. We made living wills last summer before I was diagnosed.

I also had a stroke at 33, so the threat of sommat nasty waiting to grab me is not new, lol.....

But I certainly don't intend that they will be needed for a good long while, lolol!!

Making a will is not morbid, it is sensible..... otherwise the state gets yer goodies.

Love

We chose the Dog's Trust Keith because that's where we got our first ever dog from as a couple. And the next dog was a rescue dog we took on from some neighbours who couldn't cope with him. So dogs needing homes is something we feel strongly about.

hello Keith, glad u r back. x

thats a nice thing to do Sally

If all four of us go at the same time the Dogs Trust get everything. We made our wills just before we were due to fly as a family all together so we made provision for who should get it if the worst happened to the plane.

Yes,it was the responsible thing to do.

thanks all

I'd agree Jac if he wasn't talking about what would you do if you only had so long to live on Chat! Makes it sound like he's trying to tip us all off about something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

Anyway, we have. We made them when we'd finished having children. Basically so that we could nominate guardians for the kids to stop the Social Services hoovering them up.

Keith :))) I think it is the sensible thing to do. I haven't much of any value to leave except for the flat I live in and wanted to make sure my daughters shared it.

Yes I have, as has my husband. All adults should make a will - nothing morbid about it, it's just being sensible.

You're being very morbid tonight Hoff!

Same here Jean
