Making a Will

I have sat down many, many times to start making a will but rarely get past the first few paragraphs. So why is making a will so hard? Motivation might be one reason, time is definitely another and when it comes to making a will I always seem to hesitate about exactly what I should and should not include.First of all I am single, that is no longer married so making a will doesn't seem to carry the same urgency. However, I know that after divorce you should definitely make a will that covers your single situation.

In making a will as a single person I have started with "What don't I want to happen?" - OK, I get on alright with my ex-wife but I definitely do not want her to get anything from what is left of my wealth. Fortunately we do not have any children so I haven't got to worry how I take care of them in making a will this time. But although I get on with my ex-wife we no longer have anything left to share and in a few years time she may be re-married and possibly so might I be. That always makes me ask the question should I wait until I re-marry before making a will again.

I do not own any property as I now rent out, but I do own my car..well that's not true the bank own the car but if I die the outstanding loan will be repaid by the life cover I took out. So as I start making a will for the umpteenth time I guess there might be few things I might have in my single estate that I should think about leaving to someone.

I have a blog which highlights the importance of Will writing and covers the reasons as to why one should write a Will. It was stated that over 70% of the UK population do not have a Will, therefore i set out to create a source of information online to assist those that do not have a Will and point the reasons as to why you should write a Will.
