Anyone who has children or property should consider making a Will to ensure their wishes will be followed.“For unmarried couples, the situation can be more complex. Many people still believe there such as thing as a ‘common law’ marriage, yet this has no legal standing and therefore unmarried partners have no automatic legal rights to each other’s estates on death”
