If not, you must listen to this podcast!  We spoke to Bik-ki Wong and Helen Thompson who are both partners at Myerson solicitors  Bik-ki is responsible for wills, trust and probate and Helen heads up the department that looks after contesting wills.  We talked to Bik-ki about:  What happens if you don’t write a will? Doesn’t it just go to my husband / wife?  Not necessarily, Bik-ki explained. And what happens if you aren’t married? How many people we know who don’t have a will and don’t want to think about it. The fact that a will doesn’t have to be expensive; you can have a simple one drawn up and there are charities that might write a simple one for you. What happens if you both die and don’t have a will or are a sole / single parent? Appointing a guardian, how you do this and the implications. Some real-life case studies of families who realised they needed to make a will for example because of illness or divorce. How often you should review your will once it has been written. Some of the terminology and responsibilities. The role of an Executor, Trustee, Guardian, how many you should have and things to consider when choosing them. How having family planning meetings around writing wills can be helpful. 3 things that Bik-Ki would say to someone who doesn't have a will.  And we talked to Helen about:  What happens when...  a will is challenged and the associated issues and conflicts. there isn’t a will and the intestacy rules that come in to play where the law decides what happens. for example, a child isn’t provided for in a will because a will hasn’t been updated. Considerations for blended families, step families, solo parents, single parents etc.  3 things to consider when looking at issues with a will.  Instagram: @myersonsolicitors @bespokefamily / Facebook - @bespokefamily  More information about Myerson can be found here - https://www.myerson.co.uk/  Contact Myerson about making a will here Government information on making a will: https://www.gov.uk/make-will  Read our bereavement blogs here including a blog from Bik-Ki about writing a will   ‘Your Guide to...’ (our downloadable webinars including behaviour, toilet training, sleep and more) - get 25% off any guide with the code ‘PODCAST’      For information about a Parent Consultation click here: https://www.bespokefamily.co.uk/parent-consultations      This podcast is produced by Decibelle Creative
