Will
looking at the post re wills.
I made my own will last year and made my friend's son Executor. The will lay with my friend for quite some time and never was signed by anybody. The will is still in friend's house but my lovely friend has now died so I don't know what to do.
I haven't seen her husband since the funeral but through a couple of emails just chit chatting I know he is in a bit of a state over her death hence I can't get the nerve to talk about my will.
Also whilst I have some friends there is none of them I want to be either Executor or witness so I don't know what next to do. Anybody help.

there is quite a lot of this here
and quite a lot by Chris on his life work - writing wills
and we are still dancing around questions like does Mrs moo have to sign it who lives down the road (no) and can the witness sign it later like a week later ( no) - I have a will which I havent signed - is it a will ? (no)
who gets the moolah ? say it is Mrs Boo - make her exec and if she wants to spend your moolah on a lawyer then she can do so whilst you look down from Heavern.

>>> do my witnesses need to put address or occupation when they sign
It's not a legal necessity but it's probably best to include their addresses at the very least. (Text books on the subject generally also recommend the inclusion of occupations but, again, it's not essential).
The witnesses to my will appended their address but their occupation isn't mentioned. (Adding "Retired person, currently doing casual work on a traffic survey, whilst stood in a Tesco car park" wouldn't really have added much to my will!)
