Ensuring that your will is properly executed and legally binding

SINGLE PERSON – not married, no children

If parents are divorced, they will still have to share everything equally

Nothing passes to partners (it does not matter how long you have been together)

If there is no will, everything will pass to parents or siblings or cousins etc.

If intending to marry, a statement can be inserted in your will to say that marriage will not affect the will

MARRIED BUT SEPARATED PERSON – not yet divorced.

(Until the divorce is finalised, a husband or wife will still inherit the assets regardless of how long they have been separated.)

Any existing will is still valid even after the divorce is complete, so even if the spouse can’t inherit, other provisions such as Executors and gifts may still need to change.

Trustees and Guardians may be necessary to look after your children

If parents are divorced, they will still have to share everything equally

UNMARRIED COUPLE – possibly first-time buyers
Partners are not entitled to anything regardless of how long they have been together

There is no such thing as “common-law wife/husband”

Partners need to provide for each other in their Wills for that to be legally binding

Trustees and Guardians may be necessary for your children

Trusts may be necessary to allow a partner to continue living in a property and to ensure that children can still inherit

If you are planning to get married, this can be confirmed in your Will so that the marriage does not affect your will

We recommend registering your will with the National Will Register, Certainty. So no matter where you are in the world, you know your will can be found without question.
