According to The Society of Will Writers around 68 – 70% of the UK adult population don’t have a Will – and if you have children there is good reason to be organised about your finances. Quite apart form the emotional turmoil the family will be experiencing if you die intestate (without a Will) – everything you have to leave will be divided up according to a set hierarchy.  This starts with your spouse (even if you are not living with him/her) and then takes into account your children. If you live with someone but aren’t married, that partner also stands to inherit nothing if you die without a Will, with your estate going instead to your children or to your parents or brothers and sisters and so on down the family blood line. If your children are under 18, it’s vital that you make a Will in which you name their guardian(s) and clearly state what provisions you have made for them.  If you and your partner aren’t married, your estate will go to your children divided equally.  If they aren’t your partner’s children the worst case scenario is that they could be left without a home. Director General of The Society of Will Writers, Brian McMillan explains: “People automatically think that either because they are married or living with each other that they will inherit everything in the event of death – but of course this isn’t the case.  Add children into the equation and the scenario becomes even more complicated.  We receive enquiries time and time again on these issues and can only urge people to make a Will with one of our members to ensure that their wishes are carried out as they would like.” For more information on making a Will you can contact LEGACY Legal Services on 0800 959 6171 or surf www.legacywilldrafting.co.uk
