can you elaborate on what your wishes were and why

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's quite lengthy.

It covers my digital legacy so gives the password to my password manager and a list of key accounts that need shuttering, especially my Wikipedia admin account.

Then various classes of items to different places - academic books to the university library, others to specialist collections, general fiction off to one person, comics to another and on.

If it's something you are interested in, you should read around on the subject as various guides give you examples that may be closer to your circumstances.

can you dm me your will id like to use it for reference you seem to very knowledgable

I've rather not as there's a tonne of personal information in there and little that would necessarily be relevant to you.

My best advice to anyone is search for "statement of wishes" and then "digital legacy" and that will get you the guides I used. I can't claim to have any greater knowledge and experience than they provided, just enough to befuddle a junior lawyer.

It would make no sense and I doubt it'd be of much use to you. You are better off following the guides - I did nothing clever or innovative other than read and follow them.
