Advocate says don't stigmatise will writing

98 per cent of people don't know what a will is for

Stigmatising will writing could be the reason why residents delay it.

That's the view of an Island-based advocate - who says residents should consider writing a will if they want control over their legacy.

Anyone who has a will, but had it written in the UK needs to make sure it has legal jurisdiction here.

Macmillan Cancer Support released figures from a report today that suggests 98 per cent of British people don't know what a will is for.

Mark Furness from Callin Wild says people need to take the proper precautions.
