    Making a will

    Seriously thinking about doing this now at my advanced age. Anybody done this? Can you do it yourself or is there a need to get lawyers involved?

    Who are you going to leave your collection of grot mags to then.

    You can get a will pack from WHSmiths, or Staples.

    Or lawyers usually advertise in the local rag, standard mirror will being around £150.

      I cannot see your family descending on the lawyers like an Agatha Christie scene after they have laced your curry with arsenic.

          Check your bank account? Some accounts have a will writing service which somes as part of the package. They won't do anything majorly out of the ordinary but may be sufficient.

            In all seriousness you can do it legally on here. I'll help

            'I Tony M being of sound mind hereby bequeath the following on the confirmation of my death.

            To my friend Minestrone I leave the contents of
            my spirits cabinet

            To my friend Cojak, I leave my collection of guitars I
            collected during the 1950s and the book Rolf Harris plays the Ukele

            To Suityou I leave my bedding, you may want to have it cleaned first what with the groupy action I had in the 70s

            To Mary Poppins I leave my dartboard and a picture of me playing the guitar

            While to my good friend Mr Marillion Fan I leave my house, car(if they ever find it) and all
            my cash, plus royalties from my music

            and finally to my special friend, my buddy Woderick I leave my collection of sexually transmitted diseases I hope he has as much fun with them
            as I did

            Yours
