Guidance, personal experience and references will be most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkuTube Posted yesterday at 08:05 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:05 AM You may want to read it ☝️. Having gone through the experience, I do hope I could be of help here. I do believe I covered most parts when writing the earlier post. Looking back, and if you are doing your Will without a lawyer, a phrase like 'this Will cannot be contested' is important. Should you want to leave your asset only to your partner, it is good to indicate (in the Will), why you are not leaving anything to your family members (particularly your parents, should they are still alive). Should you are approaching any lawyer for the Will, be open about your orientation. Being truthful helps to cement a good relationship with the legal office. IMO, many lawyers are willing to help.

A more complicated one for high networth individuals, can cost more. Besides, these days, the will can be filed with the Courts too. So it can be retrieved when needed. Many years ago I did one. There was no filing facility, and I misplaced the will when I moved. So did another. My 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best to you, @petet. Thanks for the insight. If we want to will our asset to an organization, must we inform the organization in advance ? If so, is a letter (black and white) required ?

So to say a lawyer is required in order to file the will with the court, or no ? Quote Don't read and response to guests' post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
