Basic will writing software

[Old Salt]

I don't have anything but the house, a small amount of savings, and a pension. I only have the wife and when both of us are gone, we want whatever we have to go to two members of the family.

So, as you can see, we don't need a lot of work writing will. I was executor for a self-written will and it was no trouble.

However, anyone know which software package is the most respected?

Thanks for any advice

W H Smiths sell a standard Will package, I have been Executor for 4 Wills wrtitten on this format without any problem. Admittedly they were Wills that were not complicated, and well below the IHT limit. I am not aware of any web-based packages, but to be honest for a few pounds spent in W H Smiths is it worth leaving any Executor with potential problems!

Maybe a copy of someones Will, adapted to your use would suffice. Your daughters could be executors. Make sure beneficiaries have copies so Will isn't lost.

Thanks for the timely reply DocHH

Good Ole WH Smith's, forgot they do software. They seem to carry a couple so I'll visit and take a look. Doesn't say it runs on Windows 7, but, a satisfied customer said he installed it and it was running fine on Windows.

Very Much appreciate the advice

The Lawpack ones from Staples are OK too.

Good idea tamborine, but, I think DocHH idea is best for my circumstances.

Thanks for the timely response
