But I’m only 29. I don’t have anything that amounts to much value. I can put it off another few years.

It’s easy to put off writing a will. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has some resistance to doing it, and many excuses to back my case.

I have recently come on board at the Abhayaratna Trust in the role of Supporter Care and Publicity, working alongside Taradakini in a small but lively team of two based in Scotland.
