Hi everyone,

I have a copy of a Will made in 1973 and the amount left was £37086.46 which seems quite a large sum of money and wondered what it would be worth today. I know a site has been mentioned before for conversion but not sure which one.

Thanks.

Would be a approx ten times that in terms of what you could buy with that sum of money today

However if you take into account that we are about 1.5 times better off now that we were in 1973 then it would have appeared an even larger sum at the time.
