I'm 21 and don't have much by way of money or possessions of a costly nature but i'd like to ensure that should i die young, i give people who i care about the things they deserve.
Can anyone help me out with sites that include advice on will writing as i can't afford a lawyer?
And what is the law circumstances in the UK and wills?

A will is always a good idea because death is blind to age. Here is a book that outlines how to write a will:

Wills are usually used to indicate your wishes after you die. If you have stuff you want to go to specific people, if you have large amounts of money you want to be divided specifically, and especially if you want to indicate who you want to care for any children you may have,
I don't know about the UK, but in most North American countries, there are "will kits" avaliable, both as bundles of papers you fill out, or software you answer questions for. Since Canada's legal system is based on the UK, especially in regards to property and ownership, I can't see why you wouldn't have something similar there.

The moment one comes of legal age,it is preferable to draw up a will because one does not know when he/she may kick the bucket.
Try googling for formats of wills.

Always have a will and a living will, it is the only way to ensure your wishes are carried out.

Many states no longer honor do it yourself Will's, so you need to check with the laws of the state you live in and they live in as well about who needs to write a WILL to have it enforceable at your un-time trip to heaven.

Make a list of your possessions that you find most valuable, place on that list who you want to have what, then have each person sign this, it's like a written contact put your signature on it too, and put it somewhere safe.

Look in the 'net to find agencies who have a Living Will form. You're prety young but wise for your years.

Also get a "Power of Attorney for Property" just in case you are laid up, someone can manage your money (pay bills, write checks etc).
