FIVE REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO WRITE A LETTER OF WISHES WITH YOUR WILL 1. If you have appointed Guardians for your children Lots of people use their Wills to appoint Guardians if they have children under the age of eighteen. And that’s an important reason to have a Will written. I don’t though want to go into that in this post.

WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE WORTH LIVING?
WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE WORTH LIVING? I’ve recently finished reading When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. I chose to read it because I knew that it asked the Big Questions. You know the ones: what gives life meaning, what’s the meaning of life, and how to face death and come to terms with it. This book also resonates with me on personal and professional levels.

It’s time to publish my trusted and, some might say, valuable blog. Which is why I had no choice but to get ahead of the game and get you ahead of the game too.

WHY WRITING WILLS MAKES ME SO HAPPY! I’d forgive you for thinking I’m a bit strange – but I do enjoy writing Wills for my clients. It makes me happy and puts a smile on my face. I get even more excited in the moment after I’ve witnessed them signing their Wills when I see the look of relief on their faces. Job done! But how did this happen? How did I end up as a Will writer? It’s not the sort of thing most people have a desire to do when they are young and full of hopes and […]
