What you need to know about your will

What you need to know about your will

Do you have a will? If not you should probably get one.

But if you do have one, do you understand what’s in it?

According to Will Aid, MORE THAN HALF (54%) of parents with children under the age of 18 don’t have a will.

That’s 54 per cent minus one person now, however, after This is Money editor Simon Lambert finally got his act together and sorted his out.

So what do you need to know about getting a will, what’s easy, what’s complicated and what are the things you don’t want to think about but have to?

Simon explains what he found out when he got his.

Also on this week’s show, Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce discuss the best way to help bank fraud victims – and whether enough is being done to get people’s money back and warn potential victims.

Plus, we find out how to invest like one of the most successful investors ever, Warren Buffett, from the Buffettology fund manager who has spent the past five years beating the UK market by doing just that.

The cars most people want to ditch through scrappage are also revealed, as we look at the question of whether people are getting themselves a good deal or just being lazy.

And finally, it’s time for a last ditch round of ‘will interest rates rise next week?’

Find out which one of our podcast trio says they will by giving it a listen.

Enjoy.
