As long as it was properly signed and witnessed by two adult independent witnesses who are present at the time you sign your will, it should be legally binding.
...
Using the wrong wording could mean that your instructions aren't followed, and could even mean that your will isn't valid.
Many married couples own most of their assets jointly with the right of survivorship.
When one spouse dies, the surviving spouse automatically receives complete ownership of the property.
This distribution cannot be changed by Will.
You don't have to get a lawyer to draft your will.
It's perfectly legal to write your own will, and any number of products exist to help you with this, from software programs to will-writing kits to the packet of forms you can pick up at your local drugstore.
You don't have to use a solicitor to create an LPA.
The application forms from the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) contain guidance to help you fill them out.
Alternatively, you can fill them in online and phone the OPG helpline if you have any issues or concerns.
If there is no co-owner on your mortgage, the assets in your estate can be used to pay the outstanding amount of your mortgage.
If there are not enough assets in your estate to cover the remaining balance, your surviving spouse may take over mortgage payments.
When a retired worker dies, the surviving spouse gets an amount equal to the worker's full retirement benefit.
Example: John Smith has a $1,200-a-month retirement benefit.
His wife Jane gets $600 as a 50 percent spousal benefit.
Total family income from Social Security is $1,800 a month.
