Make a Will & Protect Your Loved Ones...
If you have not made a Will at all, you should give some thought to the following:
For married couples; if you do not have a Will, then the Government will decide what happens to your estate when you die. All of your estate will not necessarily pass to your spouse. The Government have strict guidelines when deciding who will benefit from your estate, which can include children, grandchildren, surviving parents, brothers and sisters depending on your circumstances. Broadly speaking, same sex partners in Civil Partnership have the same rights as a married couple.
For un-married couples; if you are not officially married, you may be treated as a single person and your surviving partner may get nothing at all. Making a Will in these circumstances can avoid any argument and dispute at a time when your family should be coping with the loss of a loved one.
For parents; you will need to consider who you want to look after your children in the event of your death. This is very important in the case of one-parent families or unmarried parents living together, especially if your child was born before 1st December 2003, (see Parental Responsibility). A valid Will nominating a guardian is invaluable in such cases. If you do not appoint a guardian a court may decide on your children's future if you are not around.
For single people; you may have friends, family members or a favourite charity who you would like to benefit after your death, especially if you do not have any living relatives. Making a Will ensures your estate goes where you want it to.
For un-married couples; if you are not officially married, you may be treated as a single person and your surviving partner may get nothing at all. Making a Will in these circumstances can avoid any argument and dispute at a time when your family should be coping with the loss of a loved one.
