Some so many people pass on in the UK without creating a formal will. Many people mistakenly assume that if they are married or living with a long-term partner, everything will be inherited by them in the event of their demise.
However, this is not the case if you have children or are not legally married. Intestacy laws, which come into play if there is no will, rarely achieve the desired result. The rules inevitably come with a one size fits all result that rarely matches individual wishes.
Failure to make a will exposes people to tax implications and financial problems that could have been avoided with goodwill.
Expert’s advice that anyone who has assets and worries about what happens to those assets upon their death should make a will, but there are some situations where making a will is more important than ever.
Some of those scenarios change in marital status, having children, stepchildren, or grandchildren, significant change in financial situation, buying or selling property or business, changes of residence and domicile, death of someone mentioned in the will, etc.
Do not delay talking about making a will. Life is uncertain, and death is inevitable. Therefore, making a will should bring you peace of mind and financial certainty for your family.
