Charles seems to be lining his own pockets. That may well be the case, but whether Royalty or Government if people have a problem with it just write a Will it’s not complicated and cost minimal effort and money.

There are many reasons people don't write a will, however cheap and simple it might be. One very basic reason, being too afraid of death to acknowledge that it's going to happen. Should people be punished for being scared? Or for being mentally impared is some way? Not for me. Just because something is easy for you doesn't mean it is for everyone.

Just because something is easy for you doesn't mean it is for everyone. What’s the punishment I’m not sure what you mean by that. They have no family to claim their estate so if they die it will automatically go to the state or if they are in Lancashire or Cornwall it goes to the Duchy, if they want it to go elsewhere before they die then they have to have written a last Will and Testament otherwise the only other option is it goes to one of the above, and I know of no other option for it to go to by law without a Will, or neither do I know of any party proposing to change the legislation on what should happen to estates left unclaimed, so that may suggest that the consensus in what we have in place works if not ideal to a very small number who have no traceable family and haven’t written a Will other than they don’t want to or see no point in doing so in their circumstances of having no one to leave it too.

MikeO Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Tesco helpfully putting up foreign language translations on their express tills, but do they need to actually identify the language? If you're Polish (or Bulgarian) you can presumably read Polish (or Bulgarian) without needing to be told it's Polish (or Bulgarian) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why there's such a vocal body of people who seem desperate for renewable energy schemes to fail. You see it in some people's comments to that article, but it's become something of an obsession among conservatives in the US. Why would we not want to pursue such options? Why would we not want to reduce smog, limit the rise of sea level, prevent extreme weather patterns, and generally be good stewards of the earth?
