We shred everything too. I tear off the bit with the address/name etc and shred it, putting the innocuous remains in the recycle.

Has anyone made their Will? It's one heck of a palaver. We were asked so many 'what ifs'. For instance,

'What if you both died instantaneously in an accident? Who would you want to inherit your joint estate?'
(long list of Africans)
'What are their full names and addresses?'
No idea. They don't have an address.
'What if they too were all dead. Who would inherit?'
Husband looking shocked and upset.
Bit morbid, but these things are necessary in order to cover all eventualities.
From what I've heard, leaky Wills cause no end of hassle and expensive resolutions.
