Discussion Wills

Have you made a will?

I haven't, I'm a little worried about someone finding out. Especially if you need a witness.

I have written down who I want things to go to though and I'm hoping that's enough.

This highly depends on locals laws. You may want to check.

I had a will drawn up. It was very easy. I contacted a lawyer independently of anyone. I used the generic will they have available as I do not have anything big/special to give away. Signed it myself and the "witness" was another person working in the law office. No one else knows I had this done.

Also, just a note, you can declare financial beneficiaries separately from your will. So if you have money in a bank account, you will want to declare beneficiaries there.

As in contact the bank directly?
Ive looked at the local law it feels a little wishy-washy. Maybe I am better just making a will. My concern is i have quite a vile family member who i specifically want as far away from everyone as possible

For one of my banks I could declare a beneficiary online. The other I had to physically go in.

A legal will would help a lot with this. Make sure you declare an executor you trust (the person in charge of handing out stuff to people once you die).
