LadyDiz: As a lawyer myself, I've seen the chaos that occurs when a will is incomplete or there is no will at all. Banks do provide the facilities to assist with both drafting and safe-keeping a will but it would be best if you went to a lawyer. I have a sneaky suspicion that the Spanish law of testation differs greatly from English law. If you have assets in different countries the situation becomes even more complex. No matter what people's opinions are on lawyers, they are the ones best placed to ensure your will is valid and unambiguous - the cause of many of the problems with probate.
evening your Honor.....bowes and walks backwards........

I dont have a problem with lawyers . Like everything,you need to find one who is going to deal with the matter properly,as in any proffession. I wouldnt dream of making a will without using a lawyer. That is my problem,assets in two differant countries.
So .. you decide, before your departure or after. Surely you aren't going to be a witness after your departure,and for sure never going to hear curses against you.
joyaepace: That would be awkward I think and may cause tensions even before I die.
