Can a Will help protect my partner’s rights?
If you and your partner are not married or in a civil
partnership, then you won’t have the same rights as those
in a partnership recognised by law. Naming your partner in
your Will ensures that they are looked after as you intended.
How often should I update my Will?
We suggest every five years, or after any major life event
such as the birth of a child or buying a new house.
A marriage will invalidate any previous Will you have
written, so if you marry or re-marry, then you will need
to write a new one.
