Unmarried Couples

Unless you have made your Will, your partner could get nothing! Your entire estate could pass to your children, or if you have none, be shared between your brothers, sisters and parents. If you have jointly owned property, this could change matters and complicate them still further.

Separated

Without a Will your ex-spouse may be entitled to claim part or all of your estate in certain circumstances! Even if your ex-spouse cannot make a claim, your children's trust fund may fall under your ex-spouse's control.

Parents of young children

An ex-spouse could be given full parental rights over his/her children even if your original separation agreements said differently. Through a Will you can nominate people you trust as guardians for your children in the event of your death.

Fathers of children in an unmarried relationship do not automatically acquire "Parental Rights". A father is not a parent unless he is made a parent.
