Wills

[lovelilies]

Finally getting round to making a new will and curious about how to do things.

Currently my eldest DC (17) from a former relationship is the sole beneficiary (wrote the will when she was a baby.

Now I have another 2 DC (8 and 6) with my Ex P.

DC 1 has no contact with her father and is highly unlikely to inherit anything from them at side of the family ever.

DCs 2 and 3 have a wealthy father and grandparents and uncle.

I'm really unsure how to split my (very modest) estate as it seems unfair whichever way I divide things up and the last thing I'd want is to cause a rift after I've died 

Any advice? Thanks

I think it would help to not necessarily view this final will but look at the circumstances now. If anything happened to you in the next few years it would of course be devastating for all 3 children but I assume your ex DP is still involved with the younger children and he would step up and look after them and they would have financial security. Would he provide this for your older dd though? For her as a young adult the money could really help provide her with a bit of security and help her cope with the loss. In later years as circumstances change and all the children are older you can always change it again.
