(i) Children as beneficiaries:
If you have a young family leave the ‘Child name’ boxes blank – this will allow for further children being born without having to amend your Will. If the children in your family have come from more than one partnership it is best to name them (with relationships like ‘step-son’) to indicate exactly who is included.
