"I've saved £200k but I'm too scared of dying to make a will - help!"

Money Confidential with Katie Morley

After her father walked out when she was six, the stable childhood Catherine had always known was ripped away. Her childhood set her up to be fiercely self-reliant and her attitude to money was also forged in those early years. She rarely spends money on herself and as a result she's saved a total of £200,000. Her wealth feels like a burden and it's keeping her up at night.

Since having an intense dream about dying recently, Catherine has been haunted by what it might be like to pass away. She admits putting off the not insignificant task of creating a will, and deciding who she will leave her £200k estate to.
