I'll never forget three women coming to speak to me, by chance one after another, after an Ideal Home Show talk. All were in their 40s-50s, all had lost their husbands in the last few months, and all were desperate: "I'm in dire straits, where do I start?"

If you haven't written a will you should consider getting one now during free wills month. It's particularly pertinent as a shake-up of the law in England and Wales may also affect what happens to your cash if you die without one.

If you're over 55, live in England or Wales and have yet to make a will, then March is Free Wills Month.

If you're over 55 and have yet to make a will, or you've got one but it needs amending, this month is Free Wills Month meaning you can get this service carried out for free.
