If there is any complexity, then get a solicitor to do it - won't cost much to do. Make sure you get a copy of it, and make sure that someone else knows where the will is kept - my family had no idea which solicitor had copies, and we didn't have one at home.

Cost about £120 if I remember correctly.

We had one done by a solicitor about 15 years ago. Five years ago, we re-did it using an online service. I couldn't see the difference - except in the amount that it cost.
If you're following the normal inheritance paths, there really is no need to involved a professional.

I need to find someone in cloggers, we're looking at buying a house over here and with the house in blighty as well.
Though its not going to be cheap if the notary that reviewed my last contract is anything to go by, at least €800

I used the search first to see if anyone else had asked & they had but it was such a poor quality thread I thought it best to ask it again.
