Hi,
There was no obvious forum to put this so mods please move if needs be. I've recently read the Money Doctor by John Lowe and he strongly recommends that anybody over 18 has a will. I am 25 and single. Should the unthinkable happen, I would have an estate of roughly €150,000 and about $20,000 in US stock.
I know very little about wills but I did read that my estate would be divided equally between my mother and father (next of kin) if I had no will. This is what I would want anyway. Are there any tax implications for my parents inheritance if I don't make a will? If not, is there any point in making one?
