Why bother...

...writing a will?  It has always been the case that, if all the beneficiaries agree, the specific terms of a will can be altered, but now the Court of Appeal have ruled that, even where the testator makes her (in this case) wishes clear and even goes to the lengths of explaining why she's doing what she's doing, the terms of the will can be set aside and the money redistributed.  Which, like I say, makes you wonder if there is any purpose in making a will (which is generally not cheap).
