It's that time of year again.

Roads are busier once more; teachers are busy planning compelling curriculums, and kids are showing off their shiny new stationery.

Whether there's someone in your life heading back to school or not, this time of year tends to bring great change as the leaves begin to turn.

Now the fun and rush of Summer is over, could it be time to update your Will?

You've got another chance to see our experts live on ITV1. Catch them 00:00 – 03:00, the early hours of 10th September 2026.

In light of the government's recent consultation on unmarried couples and cohabitation, we believe it is important to be aware of where you currently stand following the Rules of Intestacy.

Even if you have been living together for a decade, if unmarried, neither of you have any rights to each other's assets should one of you pass away. The Government Will (Rules of Intestacy) were put in place over 100 years ago, and as you can imagine, society was quite different back then.

There are many reasons people choose to not marry or to delay it. If you want peace of mind that your partner is protected, should you pass away first, then a Will is a safe option. You are also able to specify exactly what you wish for them to receive.

So, join us live to find out more from the 9th, going into midnight and early hours of Thursday the 10th of September.

Congratulations, you qualify for this Simpler Law offer; simply submit some basic information.

Aside from a large range of cheeses and beverages to sample, there will be plenty of activities to enjoy.

We'll be amongst the stalls, not to shop and sample, but to make sure you get the chance to get peace of mind. When you take a break from sampling local goods, come have a chat and trust us with your Estate Planning.

We hope to see you there.

We will be closed for the Summer Bank Holiday on Monday the 31st August 2026.

On the 14th of August 2026, the Government consultation surrounding the rights of unmarried but cohabiting couples, came to an end.

You may remember our research on the UK public's view of existing rights, which we released while the consultation was in session. We hope that our research was of use to the professionals and public who contributed and opened some new questions on the matter.

The results are yet to be released, but this could mean some big changes are coming to cohabiting couples. Alternatively, maybe the divide in opinion was too great.

We'd like to bring your attention back to our findings, so please feel free to give our article a read: https://www.simplerlaw.co.uk/post/simpler-law-finds-that-1-in-4-uk-adults-wrongly-believe-they-d-inherit-partner-s-wealth-if-unmarried
