Can you help me with a will?

Question

I am single, but I would like to leave everything I have to my daughter. I am not using a solicitor, but filling in a law pack. Can my daughter be an executor as well as being a beneficiary?

Answer 1

Yes she can.

A solicitor doesn't charge very much for writing a will, about £50.  It could be money well-spent.  Especially if there was anyone else who felt they had an entitlement to something from your estate.

If you want to be sure that your wishes will be carried out then go and have a solicitor write the will for you.

Answer 2

Yes, but she cannot be a witness.
