Why make a Will?
The only way to make sure the person you want to deal with your affairs does so, and that the people you want to benefit from your Will do so, is to make a Will.
If someone dies without leaving a valid Will then their estate is distributed according to what are known as the Rules of Intestacy.
The rules provide that if someone who dies without leaving a valid Will is married, or in a civil partnership, and has no children, the spouse or partner will inherit the full estate.
Where there are children the surviving spouse or civil partner will inherit all the personal property of the person who has died, plus the first £250,000 of the estate and also 50% of the remainder of the estate.
Any estate over and above that is held for the children of the deceased person.
The Rules of Intestacy do not apply to couples who live together and are not married.
This emphasises the importance of making a Will to ensure that your wishes are carried out.
