you can do it on the cheap on line, or i think you can get a pack from the post office to fill in yourself, but you are best going to a solicitors and getting it done right, think i was quoted £180 or something

As Banjodeano says, you just write a will as normal. Then, (I'm not sure about this,) but I believe it would be up to the executors of your will to find your son and see the bequest gets to him (or his descendants / relatives.)

 

There are various people finding services, I believe the Salvation Army run a scheme, and will Finders etc who will have access to ways and means of finding them.

 

I think it's a lovely thing to do. Good Luck.

I believe The McMillan Trust have a list of solicitors who do it free for a time so most people make a small contribution to the trust at the same time. Better to do it at a solicitors as if it’s done wrong it’s void.

Agreed, please don’t try to draft one yourself or get one online. You really need to see a specialist solicitor.

 

I believe it’s free Wills month again in March so if you wait a couple of weeks you can get one properly drafted by a solicitor in exchange for a donation to charity.
