simple will - go to an IPW
Slightly more complex will (kids, divorce, international issues, tax issues, potential estate - including life insurance and house proceeds - worth over £500,000) - go to a solicitor
Avoid diy wills unless you simply cannot afford anything else, in which case, provided you follow the instructions carefully and keep things simple (all to mum and not lots of individual bequests and you don't have children) they are better than nothing.
If you buy a house do a will and use the solicitors doing the conveyancing (?).
If you get married do a new will - your old one will be invalidated by your marriage unless made and expressed to be made in contemplation of marriage.
If you get divorced do a new will. Again, use the solicitors doing the divorce.
and keep your will up to date (said he reminding himself that he and MrsO need new wills as kids now both over 18 and new executors needed anyway)
