Gmb Will Writing Services

[mandimoo]

GMB members are entitled to a free will writing service. Has anyone used it? Is it any good?

What is GMB ? mandimo.

GMB use Thompsons, so you should get a reliable service.

However I'd still recommend doing at least a first draft of your will yourself, based upon reading 'Wills and Probate' (from Which? Publications), which is in most public libraries. That way you'll be sure that you've answered all of the 'what if?' questions that need to be addressed. (Such as what should happen if a beneficiary dies before you do). Far too many will-writing services, including those provided by solicitors, fail to ask all of the necessary questions.

If you're completely confident about your own draft, you can simply sign your will in the presence of witnesses. Otherwise you can use it as the basis for a solicitor to work from.

Thank you Buenchico for enlightening me.

I wish posters would not use acronyms,especially when they seem to have nothing linking them with the topic.
