To tell you to write a will

[chatnicknameyousuggested]

I will be divorcing DH in a few months. I am not dying, but a bit ill and weak. I don't live in the UK, and inheritance laws are strange here. Recently I've been having thoughts of me dropping dead / having an accident and leaving things a mess because I haven't updated my will.
I have this terrible vision of DH organising my funeral, moving into my house and squandering my DC's inheritance on alcohol.
I just made an appointment to update my will tomorrow. Once it's done I will feel much better.
Circumstances change, and I don't want my DC or very elderly parents having to deal with anything ambiguous.

So, not really an AIBU at all - if you need a will and things change, update it!

Totally agree - I don’t think people realise how much stress and heartache it can cause to die without a will. You don’t even need a solicitor - write one up and sign it yourself, then leave it somewhere easy enough to find!

My DC are not my DH's, so it could potentially get complicated.

I work in law so a colleague will do it for me. It couldn't be easier really.

Are you sure it's so easy in the UK though? Here it must be notarised or it's not valid.
