Solicitor insists on visiting

I'm in the process of remaking my will.
I am leaving 15% to my son/ daughter and the rest to my daughter who is also the mother of my 3 grandchildren.
The legal assistant who is drafting my will insists that she comes to see me to discuss before I sign it. I just want her to send it to me so that I can sign it.
I am of perfectly sane mind and have good reasons for the difference in terms.
This is not a spur of the moment decision and I have discussed it with both children who agree with the terms,
I don't want this woman visiting.
Am I being unreasonable?

None of my business, wendysue but Galen sits on tribunals (when not cruisingenvy ) and is a busy lady. Not an unreasonable request to her solicitor IMHO
Hope the member who was so rude never has occasion to try that phrase in front of a tribunal hmm

Apart from the rights and wrongs of the points of etiquette and witnesses etc ,am I the only one amazed that someone chooses to discuss the specific terms of their will on a public forum?

If a solicitor dared to ask me what the year was, I'd buy him him a bl flipping calendar!

Alea, thank you for filling me in on Galen's busy schedule. I had no idea. But I'm confused... I don't see where I said anything was "unreasonable"...

Ann, I get your point, but I hope you realize Galen isn't the only one to discuss her will here. There are some similar threads in this forum. And hey, it's not as if we know who she is or who her son and daughter are. In a way, it's better than discussing it with real life friends or family.

Galen, I just caught up with the rest of this thread and saw the "get a life" remark. Very rude, I agree, and doesn't really make any sense here, either. Please ignore it.
