Thinking about your Will and how you would like your assets to be passed after death can be an uncomfortable thing to do, however writing a Will can grant you the peace of mind of knowing that you have safeguarded the future of your loved ones. From the simplest Will to the most complex Estate, we can advise on planning you would like, rather than leaving your loved ones guessing what you may have wanted by not making a Will. If you die.
If you die without a Will ......
If you die without a Will (intestate), then the Laws of Intestacy will decide who inherits your money and assets. Who your wealth will go to without a Wills depends on several factors, such as whether you are married or have children.
Your partner
If you are not married, your partner will not receive anything.
Ex-partners
Ex-partners could make a claim on your estate if you do not re-draft your Will to exclude them.
Children
Children you have from a previous relationship may not receive anything. This is because under the laws of intestacy, if someone dies without a Will, then most of their assets go to their current spouse.
Guardianship
Children you have under 18 may be taken into care while the courts choose who looks after them.
