While working as a self-employed bookkeeper I stupidly signed to act as guarantor for a car the firm was leasing. The car was stolen and never recovered.

By this time the firm had ceased trading and reopened under the name of the owner’s wife, and the insurers offered a payment to this firm on condition that all outstanding finance was cleared first.

When my wife died her share of our property went to our children. I am now considering giving them the other half in order to simplify things. Is this a good idea? I am also thinking of putting my finances into trust for them.

We are very happy to report that the Will Week scheme, in which we participated in support of St Anne’s Hospice, has been a great success. The response received from the public has been extremely positive, and the level of interest far greater than in any previous year.
