Have you written a will?

Lockstep · 07-05-2008 09:58PM #1

Just found out today that nearly everyone in my family has a will written.

Has anyone here got one done, I'm considering starting one myself just in case the taxman decides to help himself to my goodies when I'm gone.

Toots · 07-05-2008 10:01PM

I haven't got one!! Sh*t that's something else to add to the 'to do' list.

Rob_l · 07-05-2008 10:06PM

No way fudge that shiv Im not making a will Im way too young thats too much a step into the whole grown up world I still wanna think im young and hip and down with the cool kids.

Lockstep · 07-05-2008 10:08PM

Still considering it.

I'd like to make sure the people I love get my stuff.

I suppose it's never too early to make one! At least then you'd know they'd get it, and not the government (although depending on the size of your estate they may get shafted on inheritance tax!

)

I own property jointly with my partner, we're not married so if I kick the bucket my half will go to my parents. Not that I have any problems with that but it'd just be a whole lot of hassle. Also depending on the value of the property they'll have to pay inheritance tax on their half cos my life cover will pay off my mortgage and the property will be owned outright by my BF and parents.

Edit: I heard there were some sort of DIY Will kits you could get in the post office for like 80? is that true?

AlmightyCushion · 07-05-2008 10:16PM

No but I will do it soon.

Lockstep · 07-05-2008 10:17PM

I don;t have much (savings from work and stuff) but if my assets were to be sold, I know people in my family who could really use the money.

I assure everyone here that I have no plans on going anytime soon.

Aisling(",) · 07-05-2008 10:27PM

I obviously have nothing of value like a house or car or anything but i do have a will written out with personal items i want given to certian people and my funeral arrangements...i change them like every few months though.

I'd make a will but i don't really think i can give them anything real worth it, unless a few forks, a toy army man, some tissue and some lint from my pocket is valuable to them. Then again i could give them my PS3

im not so sure abut that
I think the government changed that recently enough I think your partner could claim common law marriage or something like that after living with you and buying ahouse with and all

Deffo, and I wouldn't throw out that lint either!

FX Meister · 07-05-2008 10:35PM

Havent got around to it yet but I probably will in the next few weeks. Just to make sure my stuff goes to who I want it too. My mother got word she's going to pop her clogs in a short while so she got hers totally sorted and it's made me think about it a bit more.

Ruu_Old · 07-05-2008 10:36PM

Nah I'll do it next week.*

*or the week after, or in a few months, ah I'll do it sometime!

admiralofthefleet · 07-05-2008 10:39PM

ill do it after the school holidays

Toots · 07-05-2008 10:40PM

Sure it's time enough when you're dead

Harpy · 07-05-2008 10:46PM

F*ck that i paid for my stuff they better bury it all with me..it's mine!!!!
well they can sell half my stuff so they can buy me an extra big coffin so the can bury the other half of my stuff with me:D...

Toots · 07-05-2008 11:04PM

Get cremated and then you can have all your stuff with you in a nice little urn!!

Lockstep · 07-05-2008 11:05PM

You can take it with you.

I think I made a verbal one once. When I was younger. Just before I was climbing a rather tall tree that had a very small amount of branches.

Went along the lines of, "you can have my megadrive if I die"

Davidius · 07-05-2008 11:21PM

I don't own anything so it would be kind of pointless.
Though my will read "Leave everything to my clone, he's in the lab behind the bookcase. Just press 234527 and look in the fridge. Don't think about not bothering, he has an alarm setting as well."

that's adorable....

Awww:)

Makes me fuzzy inside.

Toto Wolfcastle · 07-05-2008 11:27PM

I don't think I own anything worth giving to anyone else.

Suppose it would be an idea for someone to pile all my stuff up and set people free on it.

Pherekydes · 07-05-2008 11:28PM

Don't make a will! People with wills always die! If you make a will you will you will you will you will be sure to die.

Come to think of it, people without wills always die. If you don't make a will you will you will you will be sure to die. Ah, what the feck, we're all doomed.

I made a will so long ago that two of my kids aren't on it! :eek:

Davidius · 07-05-2008 11:32PM

Meh my Dad's will was made so long ago that five out of six of us weren't born yet. Think he made it in 1984.

Have you written a will?
