How To Make Your Own Will

It will alert you to the many and broad ranging matters you should consider, and covers factual and legal requirements and technicalities. Gordon Bowley draws on his thirty years of experience as a family solicitor to suggest the best and most effective ways 'to have your last say'.

Specimen forms, sample wills and sample clauses make it even easier to set up your own will and save money.
