When you marry or enter into a civil partnership, your existing will becomes invalid under intestacy law. This means that if you pass away without updating your will, the law will determine how your estate is divided—often in a way that may not reflect your wishes.
For many, this default system means everything could go to your spouse, which might not be what you intended, especially if you have a blended family or children from previous relationships. Without a will, your children or other loved ones may not receive what you intended, potentially causing confusion or disputes down the line.
If you're starting a new chapter with a partner, it’s essential to review and update your will to ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes. This is especially important if you have children from previous relationships, want to leave specific gifts, or have any other unique circumstances.
Take control of your legacy today. Updating your will after marriage or civil partnership is a simple but vital step to avoid potential legal challenges and ensure that your loved ones are provided for in the way you intend.
If you don’t have a valid Will the law stipulates how your money and property is inherited. The intestacy laws are old fashioned and depend on your marital status and bloodline
