Sorry for the hijack;
I need to do a new Will, basically everything will go to my Daughter. Now, assuming i don't peg it for a few years, how do they find her when the time comes? Do i have to update it every time she moves?
If you mean that the executors won't know her address and she might never know you have popped your clogs, then just make sure there is always a copy of her current address/phone number somewhere that can easily be found, perhaps with an obvious note of who she is!I need to do a new Will, basically everything will go to my Daughter.

Hi All,
Can I write my own will and sign it, stick it in the safe and job done.
No. Your signature needs to be witnessed correctly to ensure the will is valid. Note the requirements for those acting as witnesses here from the sole correct source:Can I write my own will and sign it, stick it in the safe and job done.

Terms must also be very clear. Nothing relative, nothing that is difficult to construe or to make happen in the real world (for example don't offer 20% of a house to someone).

k up the will, it won't be valid, the st-awful law of intestacy kicks in & the Gubbermint decides what happens to your stuff, regardless of what you wanted. And as you'll be pushing up daisies you won't get a chance to argue.Gassing Station | Finance | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
