So I'm forever indebted to her because she gave birth to me?

Don't worry bout d000hg Spartan, he can be a cretin. He's not really displayed any understanding of the real world...

Good to know you appreciate the gift of life.

We've done ours, including agreements with the eldest kids godparents to looks after them if we both popped off, which would incentivise him greatly, as with life assurances on us both, and properties, is a large sum they'd get.

Everytime we hook up, he tries to persuade me to drink MF's weight in wine, which I assume is a bad thing.

As an aside, if you give something to anyone, it is free of tax, if you 7 years longer then the date of the gift. So the neat trick, would be to start passing off anything expensive to the kids earlier rather than later, so you can avoid tax. I am sure it would also make sure they looked after you better too. Then after 7 years is up, give them something else expensive...

We got ours done last year. "Mrs Admin" and I aren't married but we have kids so was the sensible thing to do. It took us about 12 months to get them signed and back to the solicitors

Not married? No wonder this place is such a moral vacuum.

Mudskipper's hubby is a vampire. He will never die and has little use for mirrors.

Damn right, what were you thinking marriage is, some sort of relationship where you care about each other? When you die that'll teach him a lesson.

Unless it's a loving plan to help him grieve less by making him remember what a PITA you were?!

I have I did it years ago before I was married to ensure my mother didn't get a penny if anything happened to me

Did 'mirror wills' about 20 years ago. Hubby never got his signed.

Updated them about 10 years ago. Hubby never got his signed.

I've now shredded mine, because I don't see why I should make life easy for him if he doesn't extend the same courtesy to me. Got a copy on the computer, so if he does his, I'll redo mine.

I keep meaning to get one.

Is it possible to make a will that it all be drawn out as cash and then burnt?

You mean donated to the public purse? I didn't know you had it in you.

worth doing there are a number of ways to ensure that the chancellor doesn't get his hands on your money.

fairly cheap as well.

[SueEllen]

Serious subject, but do you have a will? Now that my finances are sorted I am actually worth more dead than I am alive, I am single but have kids. I know technically they will get everything whether I write it down or not, but I suppose having it all done officially will save a lot of hassle when my ex kills me

If you don't have a will and you drop dead, the children's court appointed trustees (in your case likely to be their mother) will have to go to court to be able to use the funds you have left for them before they are 18.

If you have a new partner and more children later on it will get even more complicated especially if the older ones are 18 or over.
