Although most people consider having a Will, they are unaware of the outcome of dying intestate (without a Will).
If you die without a Will there are certain rules which govern how your Estate will be handed out. This may not reflect how you wish your money and possessions to be allocated.
If you are unmarried but have a partner and have not registered a civil partnership you
cannot inherit from each other unless you have a Will in place, this may have serious financial implications.
If you have a Will it may be possible to reduce the amount of inheritance Tax payable on your estate.

Currently 67% of the UK adult population don’t have a Will, either because it’s not something they think they need or they just haven’t got around to doing it yet. Most people, at some time in their lives, consider making a Will but the thought often passes by without further action.
