Hello Afrohair91, 

You are absolutely right. Writing a will can give peace of mind knowing that our loved ones will be safe. It's really sad what happened to you, that your dad verbally gave you his house but that there is no written proof of this and I hope that you will manage to find a good home for you and your four kids. Try and talk to someone about your situation, maybe a sollicitor or your local citizens advice service which provides advice about housing issues. 

For anyone interested in writing a will, Cancer Research UK has a free will service and you can therefore get it all sorted very easily. You will also find on that page the necessary requirements to ensure a will is valid and also information about legal guidance after a cancer diagnosis. 

Best wishes,

As soon as i was diagnosed got will sorted and funeral plans done and paid for,so nothing for our kids to do apart from see solicitor .

I did it for us both just incase.

Hope other people will read this and get things moving rather than wait to long and leave problems for next generation or husband or wife to sort out .

Good luck to all on forum .
