Making a will is not a treat, but it is something that we should all do. Why? Because clarity is wonderful. It sets out very clearly what we would like to happen, not just financially, upon our death.

Of course many of us avoid it like the plague as it is surely an invitation of immediate death, but, whilst I haven’t studied the statistics, I suspect they would show very little evidence of correlation between drawing up a will and dying shortly afterwards, unless you study wills drawn up by people over the age of 90.
