UK Wills

Make a Will NOW. If you ever needed a reason to make a will please consider these facts.

Every day over 1500 people die in the UK (source http://www.statistics.gov.uk) and over 70% of them die without making a will.

Much of this is due the the fact that so many people belive that if they die without a will (intestate) that everything will go to their husband or wife. This is NOT true!

As with marriage, you still need to make a will after registering your partnership as any will you made beforehand becomes invalid.

You will then be recognised under the intestacy rules, and will benefit from the same exemption from inheritance tax as married couples.

If you have existing wills you can either arrange for them to be amended before you register so they allow for the eventuality of a civil partnership, or you can simply have them amended afterwards.

If you choose not to make a Will, your civil partner will inherit under the rules governing intestate estates, which will take into account children from existing or previous relationships.

You are strongly advised to make a new will AFTER entering into a civil partnership.

If you do NOT make a will your partner will only be automatically entitled to the first £125,000.

If you live together but have NOT entered into a civil partnership you must make a will or your partner will receive NOTHING from your estate.

You can make a single will online for £29.95 or a pair of Mirror Wills for £49.95 here

Information about what happens to your estate if you die without making a will.

Making a Will is relatively straightforward and not very expensive. However, in spite of this, seven out of ten people in the UK die without a Will. This often causes delays, hardship and worry - and even costly legal bills can result if there is confusion and disagreement among those left behind.

Should you die without a Will or if your Will is deemed to be invalid (e.g. if it wasn’t completed or signed correctly) then you are said to have died intestate.

This results in the law deciding who gets what of your estate.

See the full post for fuller details of who gets what if you don’t make a Will.
