I know that whatever happens surely everything would go to my mother anyway, as I'm estranged from my father, and he's not on my birth certificate, and I don't really have any siblings (well I have a half brother on my dads side who I barely know). The first thing I said was that everything will go to my mother. Then my family can go through whatever my mother doesn't want, unless they are going to fight about it, in which case they can have nothing and the rest will go to specific friends I named and then the rest to a charity. I also stated that I do not want my death announced on Facebook until all my family and specifically named friends were informed by other means (as when my friend died I found out on Facebook, and that bugs me).
I got very specific in how I want things done. I guess it doesn't need to be a certified will as the majority of what I wrote isn't really anything that will cause any issues with property.
I know a lot of what I wrote wasn't really necessary and was very specific, but at least people will know I was the one that wrote it! It's more of a 'this is what I would like' rather than a specific will. At least until I can get a more binding one. Better than nothing hey?
