Got a free one when I got funeral plan. I have moved since and they say I don't need a new one

Could you have a note put in with your will giving your new address. If nothing else has changed I would think that would be sufficient.

A change of address does not affect the contents of the will. It is only if something in your life, like getting married happens that you need to rewrite your will - or you want to change any of your bequests.

I can really relate to what you're saying. Losing both my wife and son within a short period has left me feeling a bit adrift, and the loneliness is hard to shake. It’s never easy to know exactly what your loved ones would have wanted when they’re no longer with us.

I agree with your point about sharing ideas rather than hard and fast plans. It can make things feel a little less overwhelming for our children when they’re trying to carry out our wishes. It’s about giving them a guide, but with the space to make decisions based on what feels right for them in the moment.

Sending strength to everyone dealing with similar situations. It’s not easy, but we’re all in this together.
