Surprisingly, research has shown that as many as 7 people out of 10 have not made a Will. In their most basic form wills are recommended so that you can choose how your property whether it be a house, cash or possessions is distributed upon death. At best, Wills can be used for inheritance tax planning and saving tax allowances. If you die without a Will ("intestate"), the law will dictate who amongst your relatives receives what, which may mean relatives you do not like or have not seen for years. There is a common misapprehension that a will is not essential for husband and wife as a surviving spouse will receive the whole of the deceased's spouse's estate, but this is incorrect. The surviving spouse will in certain circumstances only receive very limited benefits and unmarried partners do not currently even benefit in this way. Click HERE for the Intestacy Rules.
