Can't take it with you - will disputes

The second programme in Gerry Robinson’s series “You can’t take it with you” continued to explore the potentially thorny issues which can arise in the complicated family relationships which exist in the modern age. The idea of the programme is to get people in the process of making their wills to discuss things openly with their sometimes extended families to try and reach some sort of agreement and to prevent upset and dispute after their deaths. We often get involved in helping clients to resolve these issues after death where either no will has been made or a will made long ago has become out of date because it fails to take account of changed circumstances. In addition to that we sometimes become involved as a mediator trying to settle sometimes long running disputes. Is it that by simply getting everyone together before death resolves these potential problems at a stroke or does the spotlight of television itself alter the dynamics because people on camera want to be seen in public to be as reasonable as possible?
