Making a Will - Couple

If you live with a partner to whom you are not married, you must use the help of a solicitor to make a will or your estate will automatically pass to the nearest blood relative. Cohabiting couples don’t have the same rights as married ones, and as unmarried partners –unless the civil union is registered or there is a legal common law marriage as in the case of heterosexual couples – your relatives stand to inherit your estate in the absence of a valid will. For a couple who are not married and not having a will, the estate of the deceased partner can also be subject to inheritance tax. All these legal matters surrounding the making of a will entail the expertise of a lawyer who is well versed with issues such as same-sex marriages, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
