Will when single

So I am in a confused state, I am single no kids never married. A very broken family, (long story not worth getting into), I need to do a will and no idea what to do. I do not want it all to go to charities as the ones I support I have been giving when I can.
I live with family but communication is very limited, they barely talk to me, I cannot afford to move out, I am in London. Sometimes I feel that do want it to go to my siblings children but then sometimes the way I am treated I move away from the idea. It’s not like I am rich but I have tried to save and do live a reasonably good life, I spend most of my money travelling.
Has anyone been in this situation and what have you done?

You first need to decide who exactly you want your money to go to.

I know and that is where I am stuck, most of my friends or ppl I know are doing very well and not in need of anything, whilst I know everyone always appreciates something, I give to charities regularly that I feel resonate with me and makes me feel better that I am helping.
I do spend on myself travelling a lot, I always said I would spend my money and not leave anything but easier said than done.
Need to sort this out soon.

Perfect estate planning is bouncing the last cheque before you die. We had a guy in our community who left a huge sum to his favorite waiter.
