pie-eater 207 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Haro No doubt most of you came here excitedly thinking this would be all about the fabulously handsome and charming Royal Prince of the same name. But no. But hey, wills. Have you got a "will" sorted out? I had a rubbish home-made makeshift one a number of years ago, which probably had zero legal standing, but have been sorting out a proper one this summer with the help of a solicitor type. It's amazing(ly) eye-opening how 'they' would distribute your 'estate' if you don't instruct them in a will. Even if for a shall chunk of change, I would say its worth doing. Better to state where you want your Shakey albums, rare 12" remixes and jumpers to go, rather than they be given to someone who would not appreciate. The more complex thing to ponder is.... if you have dosh in UK (or insert 'home country') and also Japan, what's the deal there? I have been advised to have two wills one in each country, each referring to each other (basically telling the other not to crash in on the content of the other. Or something like that). It's really not something you want to think about, but it jolly well should be done I think. I bet Shakey has one. And Shinzo Abe. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 going to be fun getting the Japan one done! Actually very interested to hear about that. I don't have any yet. Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I made one last year. Very simply it was but if I hadn't done it, someone I don't like would have got half my money. Not that I have that much of it! Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Did you get it done in Japan? What's the process for that? Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Making house and all we are going to be doing this soon, it's on the list. Though knowing who to go to etc is a different matter. Can't say I'm particularly excited about doing it but it needs to be done. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 We are in the same boat, need to get it done sometime soon but not even though about who best to ask. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Need to get it done myself. Have a recommendation from a friend but haven't acted on it yet. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Presume you mean 1, Metabo Oyaji. But anyway, I got my UK one done here of course, just a local solicitor. As for Japan, no idea. I can imagine some English speaking dudes would charge the earth (plus tax), so need a good search there. Link to post Share on other sites
