um just basic things like you know was it properly signed and witnessed you know did you try and make um amendments afterwards did you use different pens did you do things like that and as you said before or you go through all of the things get a great will and then you don't store it properly and no one can find it so um main things though they're the main things really
Yeah, or, you know, I give it to, give all my estate to my partner and if my partner predeceases me, you know, to my children, bang.
The three of you are in a car accident together and you're all going, what happens?
You know, there's lots of circumstances that can occur over time where, you know, you need to have thought in advance what you'd want to have happen in those sorts of circumstances.
Yes.
Well, it can at least prompt you on those things and you can decide what you want.
And it might be, I'll go away and think about that.

If you get to first cousins and you haven't found anyone, it'll then go to the government.
Oh, really?
Okay.
But what you've got to think about is, will that suit me or not suit me?
Let's just think of a couple of instances where it may not suit.
Say you're married but you're separated.
Your spouse, he or she is still your spouse, that person is still entitled.
Might be the last person in the world you want to have your estate, get your estate.
