Government figures indicate that around 30 million adults in the UK have not made a will. The vast majority of the population put of making a Will for several reasons, one being they believe that they would automatically inherit or just purely avoid the topic simply because they assume they have plenty of time to arrange it in later life.

This can cause serious consequences and heart ache for your loved ones left behind. Everyone should have a Will, especially if you own a property, are married, co- habiting or in civil partnership.

It also applies if you have children or other dependants, or if you wish to leave something to someone who is not a close family member.

It is a common belief that, if you are married or in a civil partnership, your spouse or civil partner will automatically inherit everything you own when you die. This is not true; the law sets out rules that determine how your assets are to be divided if you should die without leaving a Will.
