The head of wills and probate at Ringrose Law, Newark, looks at finding the right will to put personal affairs in order

In the current climate, people now more than ever are considering putting their affairs in order by making wills, writes Nerina Farmer, of Ringrose Law, Newark.

Nowadays a simple will is not always appropriate, particularly where there is a more complex family arrangement. Simple wills generally allow for all assets to pass to the surviving spouse, and then on to children, or other beneficiaries on the second death.

In theory, this seems fine, but it can lead to problems.
