I'm a regular but I've named changed in case family are reading- My DP is having an operation next week, which has come through at short notice. Its a standard othopaedic thing. We have been discussing wills as we don't currently have on (I know!). We are about to pay our mortgage off early from old endowment that my DP had years ago that has matured but this won't be sorted by the time of the op so there will be a large amount of money sloshing around in his account.
I am worried what should happen to the money and other investments, pension etc. should something happen to him. I am guessing that everything not in joint names would go automatically to our DC's but I'm worried that his family may try and make a claim as one in particular is very grasping. (we have been together nearly 20 yrs). If he were to to buy one of those will packs and get it witnessed by two friends would this be enough to provide me and the DC's with some protection until we can sort this out properly? We also have a will service in the legal part of our house insurance so perhaps we could use this for the short term? Any advice anyone could give me would be really appreciated. Many thanks
