Wills Excuses Competition

We were delighted with the number of entries received that contained many interesting (along with some very entertaining) excuses as to why people don’t make or update their Will.

Excuses varied greatly from:

not believing they will die anytime soon;
finding it difficult to decide who would take care of children, through to…
not liking the wife and kids!

The winner of the free Will’s excuse was:

“I am really good at giving advice and telling others to get their Will up to date or to have one, but when it comes to me, I haven’t updated it since 1980! I don’t own a dog so can’t blame it, don’t manage a husband so can’t blame a man, don’t drink that much so can’t blame the wine – I guess I’ll just have to own up to the inertia and indecision and in the too hard basket.”

We trust that our winner will enjoy her bottle of French champagne and of course her free Will.
