Hi there, I just wondered if anyone had any advice please. I would like to update my will now that I have a daughter. My partner and I currently have a very simple mirror will which we did online via our home insurance several years ago. We don't have lots of money so I wondered if it's possible to use an online will writing website in our situation.
We would like to leave all our assets (basically our home plus life insurance and pension benefits) to our daughter. Her guardian would be my brother (previously discussed and agreed!). She is only a year old so her upbringing would obviously incur considerable cost to my brother.
Should we leave our assets to her in a trust which is administered and accessible to by my brother, or is there a better way to do it? As I understand, a trust would involve a solicitor. Has anyone managed to use an online will writing service for a will that involves children and guardians?
I will pay for legal help if necessary as I appreciate its v important, but wondered if there's a cheaper way to do it that I haven't thought of, as it seems a fairly standard situation. Thank you!
