Weekly Hot Topic
Cohabiting? Here’s why a Will matters

💬Why “common law marriage” could leave your partner unprotected

💡 Living together doesn’t give you the same legal rights as marriage or civil partnership - “common law marriage” isn’t recognised in the UK.
Joint assets (like a home or bank account) usually pass automatically to the survivor.
Sole assets (like a house in one partner’s name) won’t pass to the other unless named in a Will. Without one, intestacy rules apply - which could leave your partner with nothing.
Example: If Bette owns her house and dies without a Will, it passes to her parents - not her partner Ava. Ava may have to go through court to claim support.
Inheritance Tax (IHT): Married couples benefit from spouse exemption. Cohabiting partners do not - meaning tax could force the sale of a home or assets.
👉 If you’re not married (and don’t plan to be), making a Will is essential to protect your partner and your estate.

Speak to us today to safeguard your future.

Huge congratulations to Andrew Bishop at Rothley Law, who’s just been named Contentious Practitioner of the Year! 🏆
Anyone who’s worked with Andrew knows how brilliant (and lovely!) he is - this award is well-earned recognition.

Part of one of the largest and most innovative contentious probate teams in the country - winners of Contentious Probate Team of the Year last year - Andrew’s passion, expertise and integrity truly shine through.
👏 We couldn’t be prouder - congratulations, Andrew!
