When I put this on my list, I thought it would be much more straightforward. It turns out that the most important thing here is to have a kind of power of attorney 'just in case'. Even if you are married, courts can appoint someone other than your spouse unless you have written down your wishes. Anyway, I have done that now and made my wishes clear.
What I didn't expect is how often this has to be updated. Every time we move, every time my next of kins move, every time we have a child and every time there's something new to leave. I've made blank copies ready for the changes too.
I feel a little more settled and secure now anyway. Glad to have this one crossed off.
