I don't have a will. I don't really have enough stuff/money to be concerned really. I have life assurance covering my property, and the benefits my work pays if i die in service are split 50/50 between my parentals and my sister.
My parents are really good about that stuff so they are all sorted. Though of course that will all change if/when my sis and I procreate.
They keep telling me I've got money coming from my grandparents but I'm not budgeting for it or anything! :-D
ETA: I would have said my tv is my most expensive item (other than my bed, sofa and flat), but you can get that in Argos for £179.99 now *isn't at ALL bitter*
Wills are important wether you have money or not, if a person dies without a will they are deemed to have died intestate and it will take some time and cost to sort out their estate regard less of it's value a certificate of probate is required and that can only be obtained when essential particulars have been redeemed, evey one should have a will even if it's only a simple one................there's no escape in this country they're still after bleeding you even when your dead!

I'll double check when I get home PGE but it's happened twice with my DVD player from two different shops. At least the one I bought it from put the price back up again!

PUG, you realy should sort a will out because your flat will be worth a fair bob, or two (even if not fully paid off, I expect it will have gone up in value, and there would be some extra value in it)
I went on a finance seminar last year, and I found all the stuff about wills and taxation really interesting, and totally eye-opening, especially the stuff about inheritnace tax, and splitting property between people to avoid paying it, etc...
