Title: Making a Will
Post by: Nick on January 07, 2008, 12:00:49 PM
I have just done it! I feel terribly grown up!! Pity that the solicitor was wearing the most absurd red shiny wig! He came to see us out. It was still blustery outside. I feared for it, I really did. evil:

We discussed all that stuff. What with one thing and another The Boy will be a millionaire when we die (we haven't told him). More worryingly Mrs Nick will be able to live in comfort when I die (not "pass on" as the idiot solicitor said - see also "When something happens to one of us........" "YOu mean like death?"). Mrs Nick asked too many questions for my liking about Inheritance Tax evil:

It's in trust till he's 25!! Otherwise he would blow it on sweets and Doctor Who trading cards angry041:

Well that probably makes you feel that it has all been worthwhile.

I shall leave little when my time comes ~ Mrs#1 took everything at the divorce ...... then ill health denied the opportunity to reaccumulate. The house is mainly in Mrs#2's name as it was advised that given the age difference and my health it mght make things easier. I think only 10% of the house value is in my "estate" and of course the health issues mean that there is little life insurance. Hence the "provision" she is currently making by updating her qualifications.

Plan of action was

1) HE DIES
2) We bury him in the garden
3) We tell everyone he ran off with another woman
4) We donn't have to pay death duties/ inheritance tax
5) Wenchy and Brother go to jail for improper disposal of a dead body

We’ve been to one funeral here – it was all pretty ghastly…

They took the lid off the coffin for the burial and then hoiked the earth in on top of the body – I’m not aware that they are in to recycling.

The thing I do like here is that it’s a next-day job (not Nexday the courier, you’d never get buried). I don’t know why it takes weeks to find a ‘slot’ in the UK.
