Questions about this kit
Why do cohabiting couples need a Will more urgently than married couples?+
Under the intestacy rules that apply when someone dies without a Will, an unmarried partner inherits nothing, regardless of how long you have lived together. Married spouses have protected rights; cohabitees have none. Without a Will, your estate would pass to your nearest blood relatives, potentially leaving your partner with nothing.
Can't we just use the Mirror Wills Kit?+
You can use any Will template, but this kit is specifically written for cohabiting couples. It explains the legal differences from married couples' Wills, covers what happens to jointly held property, and includes a cohabitation checklist that is not in the Mirror Wills Kit.
Is this legal advice?+
No. WillSafe UK sells self-help templates. We do not provide legal advice. For complex situations or if you want a cohabitation agreement, speak to a solicitor.
