Does a will mean anything

Every person has a will to do or not to do something . When you say, "Yes, I will." you have agreed. When mother asks, "Will you dry the dishes?" you either will or will not agree.

But there is also a legal Will which is the last wish of a person, and comes into force when they die. Although written in legal language it sets out what the dead person wants to happen to anything that he owns including house, furnishings, car, paintings, and any valuables including money.

For example the Will might state, "I wish my daughter Mary Elizabeth Brown to have my house and everything in it. To my son Albert George Brown I leave my cars and £50,000."

Usually a family solicitor will have helped to write the Will, and is often asked to help to carry out the instructions in it.
