Exactly.No you don't need to make a will. Making one will make no difference in your case, either tax wise or in relation to having to take out a grant.
You should, however, keep details of all of your accounts in with your personal papers, marked clearly so that if anything were to happen to you they would be easily found.
No one will be automatically told of your accounts so you have to ensure they will be found in the event of your death.
Making a will would also give you the opportunity to direct some of your assets to charity on your death.
......... there are diy ones which are grand for sraight forward situations like your, I used one once myself when my mam was alive and no problems
And when you say you used one yourself. and no problems...........are you posting from the Other Side??
I would never recommend a DIY will. It is false economy.

No, and I didn't want to, as it was an inter-family thing regarding property which didn't directly involve me. Point is a simple check of the deeds, which the solicitor held, would have shown that what my father put in his will could not possibly have been done.Rockofages, were you not able to make the solicitor who incorrectly drafted the will liable?
