When you're dead you really don't care any more about what happens afterwards. I've made a list of my wishes, and details of bills, bank accounts, e-mail accounts, people to be notified, what I want done with my possessions, etc. If it is not obeyed, my ghost will appear with red hot mooring pins and people will..... DIE! I think peoples biggest fear is that if they die intestate all of their boats and cash and shit like that will be claimed by CRT due to CRT extending their powers beyond statute. This would clearly be to the detriment of any surviving relatives or dependants..

Curious, if not witnessed could be fake, handwritten might help but no guarantee. Room for Dodgy dealings. But we’re not talking bout a Rolex watch or your second best tiara! We are talking about items of minimal financial value, more of sentimental value. The executors have discretion to dispose of household items be it to friends, relations, the charity shop or actually paying a house clearing company to dispose of it all. We like to think our possessions are worth a lot but the reality is most of our stuff is a liability rather than an asset once we’re gone..

You collect a lot of miscellaneous items during your life thinking that when you snuffit your kids or grandchildren might like to inherit them, but the truth is they're not a jot interested in your stone samples or boxes of books and maps. I understand people who move onto boats and have got rid of their land-based accumulations, less junk is more freedom. You really don't need many possessions to enjoy life.

True. My children already have the burden of inheriting my genes. I would not want to give them the agro of inheriting my possessions (mainly boats). And they probably won't get any money either as I will have spent it.
From a personal point of view I would prefer to have never inherited anything.

I don't know this subject due to the silver spoon problem but can people inherit debt?
Seems a bit dodgy to me.

No, but the first things an executor has to do is”pay all testementary debts and expenses” So any mortgage, loans, funeral etc must be settled before anyone else gets anything. If the debts outweigh the assets its called an “insolvent estate, the executor may decide it isn’t worth gaining probate and the estate can sit in limbo. The mortgage company will repossess the house, any profit if they sell it for more than the debt will go back into the estate. Many loan companies will cut their losses and let it go. A neighbour of ours was dead for more than three years before the Local;Authority sold his (unmortgaged) property at auction to cover costs of making the property safe etc. He had no dependants and was the local, eccentric.

I think that is really mean ...... the florist charges by the letter and "Father" costs twice as much

Could have written these exact words myself. It's a standing joke now in our house that when it happens in one of the soaps, on the news, or in one of the crime dramas, I always say 'do that at my funeral and I'll haunt you'.

Re the memorandum of bits, ok that's clear enough. I've seen the problems arising from not doing that, "mum always said I could have the gargoyles off the roof" squabbles between siblings. Not to severe in our case.

Before you die you could hire some hit men to sniper-shoot those at your funeral who have not respected your wishes. Sorry - I meant 'hit persons' for the gender-neutral feminists amongst us. . Do we have any gender neutral feminists amongst the sweaty sweary clan here
