Thought About A Video Will?
8th February 2010
Writing a will, like going to the dentist or arranging your pension, is something most people in the UK put off. Indeed, almost 170,000 Britons die every year without a will, with tens of millions of pounds going straight to the government’s coffers in the form of property and savings.
If you have young children it is particularly important to have made a will to express your wishes should anything happen to you. Even if your kids have flown the nest you will still want to be sure that your estate is divided up as you wish.
But according to new research, when the time comes, nearly two thirds of people (63%) would like to create a video to explain their formal will and testament to loved ones and send messages and advice ‘beyond the grave’. A similar number (70%) believe that a video address would avoid potential conflicts and family arguments following the reading of a formal will.
The research was commissioned by Remember a Charity, which believes that video wills may be a good way for people to explain their decision to leave a small gift to charity after looking after their family and friends.
There’s also hope that messages conveyed from beyond the grave would make an impact on those watching. 62% feel they would be more reassured of the choices made by their deceased family member after watching a video of them explaining their decisions. Around a third of Brits (31%) say they would also use a video will to give their children valuable advice for the future.
Remember A Charity is keen to find out more about video wills and their role in clarifying people’s final wishes. Alongside its partner Beautiful Memories, a legacy filming company, it has pledged to help five people create their own video will. Members of the public who are interested in this offer should email rememberacharity@goodrelations.co.uk to find out more.
Remember A Charity was formed in 2000 and now has over 140 member charities, who work together to encourage more people to consider leaving a gift to charities in their will, after they have looked after their family and friends.
