Q. My wife and I currently live in Australia but will be returning to the UK in early 2011. We have a property in London. Neither of us have a will at this time.
She is also pregnant due in December so the will would need to include our child.
We would like a very simple will, everything to her if I die and vice versa and then everything to our child if we both died.

A. You can use Wills.org.uk for this purpose.
Q. My wife and 5 year old son are emigrating early June to Italy and I am looking at getting a will drawn up primarily to include a legal Guardian for our son in the event of our deaths. I have in place international life insurance from which my wife is beneficiary. Should we both lose our lives, is there some way the life insurance payment could be put into trust for my son even though my wife is beneficiary.
Secondly, living overseas, would you be able to word the will in such a way that a friend of mine living in the UK would be able to take guardianship of our son and bring him back to the UK to bring him up. For example, could it be worded that £40,000 of the life insurance be used to finance our sons return to the UK under the care of my friend and the remainder be put in trust for our child.
I guess somewhere in the will there would need to be reference to the British embassy to help facilitate our son leaving the country if our deaths were registered there?
Please advise on the bast way of dealing with this?

A. please give me a call as i can help on many of these issues, your insurance needs to be looked into via the insurance company as the destination of the insurance is usually controlled by the policy document, not your will.
Q. I am a British citizen, but have been a resident of France for the last 20 years and intend to remain in this country. I own property in France but my parents have property in the UK and I am a joint beneficiary with my brother of this property. I have made a will in France for my estate in France but have been told I should make a separate UK will for the property I stand to inherit in the UK. I am single with no children. Could you please advise if I may use your service for such a will.
A: Yes our online form is fine for that, just make a remark in the gifts box that this English Will is to cover your assets in England only and we will write this in accordingly. Your English will then doesn't revoke your French will, this is the most important issue.

Q. We have been resident in the UK for 8 years and have property/investments here. However, we are immigrating to Australia end of October, but not selling the property. We also have property in South Africa. We have a Will in South Africa, but not in the UK. How does does your will service work in terms of assets in different countries?
A. Our Wills are generally designed to cover your world-wide assets but if you already have a Will in South Africa then you can write in the gifts box that you want to exclude that country, we will then write your will to cover all assets worldwide excluding those in South Aftrica.
