<\/path> <\/path> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <\/rect> Let’s not beat about the bush – when you die, someone will have to sort out your <\/tspan>affairs. It’s a cold, hard fact, but it’s the truth. If you care about what happens to <\/tspan>your home, your wealth and your family, you should make a Will. <\/tspan>Simply.Law can put you in touch with a solicitor for Wills who can cater for your <\/tspan>personal circumstances – whether you need a simple Will to ensure your direct <\/tspan>dependants share your estate or you have complex financial commitments and <\/tspan>investments which need careful distribution.<\/tspan><\/text> <\/rect> Without a Will you would be considered intestate – this means that the Treasury <\/tspan>decides what happens to your estate (all your wealth and assets). For cohabiting <\/tspan>couples, this means that the partner, no matter how long they have lived <\/tspan>together, does not have an automatic right to inherit an estate.<\/tspan><\/text> <\/rect> Although the rules of intestacy mean your dependants, if they can be traced, will <\/tspan>still benefit from your estate you won’t get a say in how your money is divided <\/tspan>between them. So, if you are separated from a spouse or civil partner, but you <\/tspan>have not yet divorced or sought a dissolution, your former spouse will still be <\/tspan>entitled to your money.<\/tspan><\/text> <\/rect> Almost 48% of those with <\/tspan>a Will have reviewed it <\/tspan>within the last 3 years<\/tspan><\/text> <\/rect> 30% have not reviewed <\/tspan>the Will in the last 3 years<\/tspan><\/text> <\/rect> 21.8% have never <\/tspan>reviewed their Will*<\/tspan><\/text> <\/rect> Of the people with a Will, more than a quarter (25%) had experienced a significant <\/tspan>change in their circumstances (such as marriage, divorce, having children) since <\/tspan>writing their Will.
