Making a will

Hi,

First time on the forum so a cheery hello to everyone from sunny Devon Smile

We have a beautiful thirteen year old boy. my wife and I constantly worry about his future so we have been planning ahead and are trying to put things in place in case anything happens to us.

We have twice seen solicitors regarding a will but are left confused and bewildered, does anyone have experience of dealing with this issue or could you please point us in the right direction, we would be most grateful.

 

Thanks in advance

  • Sorry for the late reply,

    We were confused by the different types of will and conflicting advice from many solicitors none of whom mentioned that there were specialist wills for disabled people and just wanted to press us into making a standard will.

    Out of interest and curiosity, what was it that left you confused and bewildered exactly?

    Pardon my asking.  Coincidentally, my parents told me recently that I should make a will and they too have been consulting with their solicitor regarding one or two related issues.  

  • Hi globby and welcome to the forum.

     

    The Autism Services Directory lists several socitiors who may be of help, as they have experience in this issue. Our wills and trusts webchat a few months back may also be useful to you as the transcript is still up on our site. 

     

    Hope that helps,
