My sister’s husband passed away very suddenly (and I do mean suddenly - he was making a sandwich, collapsed and died, just like that, no pre-warning) and he had not got round to making a Will. He was quite fit, not that old, actually younger than my sister – and probably thought he had plenty of time to do this. He played the stock market a bit and left a portfolio of shares and investments, and, even though she was his wife, it took Alice months to get the legalities sorted and everything signed over to her. Okay, it kept her mind occupied at a very emotional time, and gave her something to do, but it was an occupation that she could have done without. She made certain that she had a Will in place to save her son the trauma that she had been through.
