Can I Write My Own Will Legally?

Can I Write my Own Will Legally blog post title image
If you are currently putting off writing your will, then you’re not alone. It’s a sobering, solemn document – one that focuses on a part of life we’d rather forget wherever possible – and it’s understandable that so many of us would rather delay it, then dash it off as quickly and painlessly as possible. 

But you don’t need me to tell you that this is a mistake – one that thousands of people make each year. A will plays a pivotal role in our loved ones’ futures, and how they are able to move on after we die. 

Still, does it have to involve a meeting with a solicitor? Here’s what you need to know.

I was super lucky to receive tickets to see Moulin Rouge the Musical for Christmas from my lovely Mum. I’d heard rave reviews about the show currently playing at the Piccadilly Theatre in the West End based on Baz Lurhmann’s iconic film. Now, I hold my hands up and admit Moulin Rouge it isn’t one of my favourite films (mainly because I’m not a Nicole Kidman fan) but I was super intrigued to see how such a visual movie would transfer to the stage.

Picture of woman with how to overcome and deal with mum guilt blog post title overlay
Mum guilt is a feeling of inadequacy and self-doubt that many mothers experience regarding their parenting decisions or actions. It is a common phenomenon that can arise from various sources such as parenting choices, work-life balance, and personal time. Mums may feel guilty about not spending enough time with their children, not being present during important moments, or making choices that do not align with their own or others' expectations. Mum guilt can be triggered by societal or cultural expectations, comparisons with other mothers, or even by their own high standards for themselves. It is important to note that dad guilt or parent guilt can also occur in fathers or other primary caregivers.

That’s why Qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist, Andrew Chan for Delight Counselling, has put together six tips to help overcome Mum guilt.

There is no doubt that car ownership can provide many benefits, including convenience, independence, and freedom. But if your vehicle stolen there can be significant financial loss, as the true value of the car is usually not fully recovered, emotional distress at having your property taken without permission, and the hassle and aggravation that comes from sourcing alternative transportation, liaising with the police and dealing with insurance companies.

In recent years there has been an increase in car crime, particularly in relation to thefts of vehicles with keyless entry systems. This increase is driven by the rise of sophisticated relay attacks, where criminals use special equipment to amplify the signal from the key fob and unlock the car. Leading insurer Aviva claims drivers with keyless vehicles are twice as likely to make a claim for car theft than those with vehicle which are non-keyless. 

​By following our simple tips to protect your car you can reduce the risk of theft and have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is secure.
