I am wondering if it is necessary to have a will made up,if there's not a large amount of money involved.My mother is in a nursing home,has a small amount in the credit union.She asked me to find out,if I could take money from the Credit union,in the event of her passing away.I researched it,and found the way to do it was by a nomination form.The problem is,the form cant leave the building,and my mother is unable to walk.I suppose the will is the only way to go so,but she has never dealt with solicitors,and is afraid of it being too expensive.
If she dies with no will, the rules covering intestacy will apply.
If she is happy with that default outcome, then she doesn't need to make a will.
You can see the order of who would inherit here:

Thank you very much for that link!
If you bring the funeral bill into the Bank or Credit Union, together with death cert, they disperse that amount.
I think to access the remainder you need to go through probate, whilst simple enough to do, can be time consuming.
