Not making a Will can have distressing results, but making a Will can avoid costly disputes.

The law may not recognise your relationship unless you are married or in a civil partnership. So without a will the person you consider closest to you could receive nothing.

Step-children also have no legal standing without a will. Only natural or adopted children benefit.

Wills should not be made once in a lifetime, but reviewed regularly.

Lives change all the time through, marriage, divorce, births and deaths. Your will should change to reflect this, for example all new parents should consider appointing guardians.

The Law Society advises reviewing a Will every five years. Have you reviewed your will recently? Does it still reflect your wishes? If not then it needs to be updated.

Some clients on low income may even be eligible for free Wills if they satisfy certain criteria.
