National Will Week (EDM2830)

National Will Week

EDM number 2830 in 2005-06, proposed by Simon Hughes on 23/10/2006.

That this House welcomes National Will Week organised by Lawpack Publishing Ltd which starts on 23rd October 2006; notes that making a will is a relatively simple process; expresses its deep concern that currently two-thirds of United Kingdom residents do not have a will and that many residents die intestate; highlights that having a valid will in place is essential in order to ensure control of how an estate is divided; is alarmed that many United Kingdom residents do not understand the importance of having a will and the potential repercussions of dying without one; and calls on the Government to do all it can to raise awareness of National Will Week and the importance for all United Kingdom residents of making a will.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
