Publisher's Synopsis
Most people in Britain don't make wills, with the result that they pass on their nearest and dearest a major headache that costs money to sort out. They probably leave far more than they intended to the Inland Revenue as well, and what happens to their property may be very far from what they would have wished.;This practical guide shows how to make a straightforward will, and advises on those circumstances where professional advice is essential. It also goes through the processes of sorting out someone else's will, using a step-by-step table and sample case history.;The book is designed to help people to prepare their own wills, and to administer the estates of others, without using a solicitor. It covers the law and procedure in England and Wales, briefly explaining the key differences which apply to Scotland.
