What actually happens if you die without a Will?
You don't get to decide who receives your estate.
Instead, your estate is distributed according to the rules of intestacy.
Those rules determine who can inherit based on your family circumstances, and the result may not necessarily be what you would have chosen.
This can be particularly important for unmarried couples, as an unmarried partner does not automatically inherit under the intestacy rules in England and Wales.
Writing a Will puts you in control.
You decide who should benefit and who you trust to carry out your wishes.
And this October, if you're 45 or over, you could get yours sorted for free.
During Free Wills Month, we're offering a free single or mirror Will when you leave a charitable gift of at least £1 to a charity of your choice in your Will.
Get in touch to arrange your free Will assessment.
