When there's a Will ...
there's a Way
Mortality.
One of life's great certainties. Yet the very subject is considered by
some as distasteful and others a taboo never to be confronted.
It's no wonder therefore, that approximately just over half the adult
population of the UK, have not made a Will outlining where their money,
possessions and property should go when they die. You can't take it with

MARRIED
COUPLES. Without a will, if you have children your spouse may only
inherit half of your estate. If you have no children, your spouse may
have to share your estate with his/her parents in law. |

UNMARRIED
COUPLES. Unless you have made your Will, your common law partner may
get nothing at all from your estate even if you have children together
and no matter how long you have lived together. |
| • |
SEPARATED.
If you do not make a Will, your ex-husband/wife will directly inherit
part of your property and have continuing rights in part of the rest. |
| • |
PARENTS.
Without a Will a court will decide who should bring up your children.
You should appoint guardians for all children under 18 years of age. |
