Hi easy tiger Sorry a​bout your situation. If your Mum wants to leave everything to be split and the will is quite simple you can get a Will Form from the Post office or WH Smiths. Your mum can either write the will herself or you can complete the form for her. All she needs to put is that all her money (you don't need to put a figure), property and everything making up her estate is to be divided equally between - and then list the names and addresses. She then needs to name an executer (which can be you) sign the form in the presence of two witnesses (not in the will). The will form costs a few pounds and has notes and tips. I did this for my mum & it was quite easy.

Thanks everyone for your reply, it's all very helpful.

Does anyone know if nurses/doctors in the hospital are allowed to act as witnesses? 

Hi

Nurses and doctors can witnesst his-it can be anyone, a friend, a colleague, as long as they're not in the will.  I'm not sure where in the country you are, but in Scotland, the children have a right to the estate (as well as the spouse) whether a will is made or not.
