Making a will.

[Russinating]

Then what if that beneficiary dies first?

Then I'd change it?

What if someone introduces a different will after the testator dies?

A different will? There isn't a different will.

What if they're thinking of leaving everything to their partner and say they hope they'll use it as she want to help enjoy the rest of their life... before handing everything onto the kids... with the testator expecting that it won't all be blown and/or the partner will actually give the money to the kids? Etc.

I don't have any kids and in any case, I don't care, I'd be dead. Even if I did care, I'm obviously with that person for a reason soo....

What if you die soon after? Or you don't hear about it (eg. a more distant relative or friend on the other side of the World who you obviously care about, but where it could be normal to not talk to one another for a long time)? Or you create your will and then develop dementia, then they die? Etc.

What? Why would my benefactor be someone on the other side of the world? In this scenario it is my partner.

How do we know it's the will you made (not changed in whole or in part), and the most recent will you made?

How would one done "professionally" solve that?

That wasn't the only example, was it.

It was mine, and I think your husband/wife/girlfriend/mum/dad is a more normal example than someone on the other side of the world.

You can have them store it for you (not unusual for that to be included in the £100-200 fee). Eg. a family member's will is in a file under their wardrobe, but there's also a copy with their solicitor.

And you can't get a will made with two different solicitors?
