Who should make a Will?

Everyone! Whether they are young or old, married or single. Co-habitants are in a particularly vulnerable position. New legislation to protect co-habitants' rights is limited and uncertain, requiring the bereaved partner to go to court to claim. Making a Will can provide certainty.

There are key times in anyone's life when you should consider making a Will or updating your current Will – for example, if you commence or cease co-habiting with someone, get married or enter into a civil partnership, move home, buy or sell a second home, review your investments, if there are new members of your family, whether children, step-children or grandchildren, if you separate or get divorced, or your family circumstances change.
