.. seems a strange place to start a thread, but since I had my second baby in February I have been thinking I should really make a will. In the past I have had some invaluable advice from the EDF, so if anyone has any experience or thoughts on the subject, I would really appreciate it. Can anyone recommend somewhere to go to draw up the will? Cheers!

If you have a straightforward set up - ie, no previous marriages/one property etc etc, then there is a will kit you can get - from WHSmiths, and probably other places. This works well for uncomplicated 'estates'. It explains all the legal jargon, advice on guardians etc etc.
I can thoroughly recommend Camilla Judge www.willwritingandestateplanning.com she did ours recently and was very friendly, helpful and professional. She comes to your house to discuss the will and find out what you'd like included and then comes back a week later with it drawn up for you to sign - she does evening appointments too so very convenient.
We used Galzer Delmar - we did mirror wills. To be fair it took longer for is to talk tofamily about who would look after the chidlren than it did to talk to the parents... they also put us on a regiter so anyone can find where your will is held = saves then apin my dad went through wen his friend died and next of kin was his mum who had dementia!! He phoned about 40 solicitors trying to find the right one but they can't divulge if it their client for confidentiality reasons.... funnily enough, we joined the register ?20/person but think probably mone well spent

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
