Why make a will?
74% of people in the UK do not have a current Will that reflects their personal and financial circumstances at the time of their death. So, why make a Will?
Will everything you own pass to those you want to benefit?
Many people assume that if they die without a Will (intestate), their spouse or civil partner will receive their entire estate.
This is not the case. Instead the estate will be distributed in accordance with the intestacy rules.
Please choose options from the further information menu opposite to find out more about how the intestacy rules may affect you and your family.
