It will be perfectly legal. However, since lay man are not used to legal Jorgan, thus it is always advisable to seek some solicitors help to ensure that the person's will be interpreted in the same way in which the testator was intended.

Yes it would be legal but if the person who is making the will has other immediate family (husband/wife, children, partner, parents) who are not named in the will, then they have a right to contest it and claim a certain amount which varies depending on whether its in scotland or england and wales.

Consult an English Solicitor.

what if that one person passes away before the person making the will? Then legally the inheritance would go to her heirs right?
Think it would be safest to let a solicitor handle it, or at least keep it safe.

Hi Ron,
Strictly speaking the answer is yes. The number of beneficiaries under the will is of no relevence. This is something to be contested at the execution of the will and not usually before unless something illegal has occurred.
Hope this helps.

Spend it all on yourself. Why leave your hard earned cash for someone else to enjoy. You spend it and enjoy it. It is your cash.
