I am interested in making a will. However, my situation is rather complex...
I recently got married to my husband and had his baby in December 07. However, he has 3 children by previous relationships. The house we live in is in my name (had the house before I met him) although he does pay half towards everything and we will be adding his name to the mortgage soon.
Can you give me some guidance as to how we both would make a will to ensure:
1) his kids are catered for (by previous relationship)
2) our daughter would be catered for
Sounds awful but I would hate to think that if I die my daughter could miss out on her inheritance and my assets would go to my husband who in turn could include all of his children in the will should he die...I just want to ensure that my assets pass to my daughter and not his other kids. If you can email me back and let me know if I can make a suitable will to accomodate these needs via yourselves. My husband also has no will so can you also give guidance as to how he can ensure all his kids benefit from his estate?

A 53-year-old Jersey accountant who believes he may be the son of Princess Margaret and 12th in line to the throne yesterday won a landmark ruling which opens the door for the inspection of the wills of members of the royal family, ending nearly a century of secrecy.
The ruling by the court of appeal was welcomed by campaigners for greater transparency about royal affairs. It emerged during the hearings that Princess Margaret, who died in 2002, left an estate worth nearly £8m.
