Wills in Earls Colne and throughout the UK could be influenced by ‘celebrities’ Wills when it comes to your own Estate Planning in locations throughout Essex including Earls Colne. This is because the importance of Will Writing does not rest with the rich and famous of this world alone as it is every bit as important for both you and I. Therefore, it is imperative that you go through a service provider like Andrew Douglas Wills and Legal Services for the purpose of making provision in this regard.

In addition, what you should see from the examples that are presented below is that there is really nothing that cannot be done when it comes to the matter of effective Estate Planning. However, at the same time it is still important to note that your wishes must also be effectively enforced where there is a risk this will not be the case under Wills in Earls Colne and throughout the rest of the UK despite the following examples –

The 1950s American Movie star Marilyn Monroe had it written in her Will that all of her belongings and her clothes right down to her underwear was to go to her acting coach (Lee Stasberg) to her friends and family (However, Lee never did this and instead stored it all away until his death when his widow then sold the lot for approximately $13.4 million!).

The sci-fi guru Gene Roddenberry (the creator of Star Trek) had it written in his Will that his body and ashes were actually to be scattered in space.

The great magician and illusionist Harry Houdini had it written in his will that his wife (Bess) was to undertake a seance every year in the hope that he would appear and talk to her (and left a secret 10-digit code so she would know it was him).

Finally, Fred Baur (the founder/owner of Pringles) died in 2008 and actually had it written in his Will that he wanted to be cremated and then buried in a Pringles can!

There is also one other lesson to be learned for people writing their Wills in Earls Colne from Wills like those of the ‘celebrities’ included here for the purpose of illustration: the fact Wills are available to the public and the media whilst trusts are not since they provide a much quicker means to distribute your estate and also allow you to plan for possible disability whilst a Will can only be executed after death and has to go through probate.

With this in mind, you are advised to seek assistance from a service provider like Andrew Douglas Wills and Legal Services to give you further advice about any inheritance tax that you may be required to pay at the time of your passing when it comes to Wills in Earls Colne and throughout Essex.
