    Important to know

    What happens without a will?

    If you die without a valid will, the Rules of Intestacy decide who inherits your estate—and it may not be who you'd choose.

    Unmarried partners receive nothing, even after decades together. Your estate goes to blood relatives in a strict order, regardless of your wishes.

    The government also decides who looks after your children, how your assets are divided, and when beneficiaries can access their inheritance.

    Who inherits without a will

    First priority

    Married spouse or civil partner (not unmarried partners)

    Then to:

    Children, parents, siblings, nieces/nephews, grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins

    If no relatives:

    Everything goes to the Crown

    Take control of your legacy

    Why wills matter

    Understanding the importance of having your wishes legally documented

    A brief history

    600 BC - Ancient Greece

    Wills were first conceived in Ancient Greece, giving citizens the freedom to choose who would inherit their assets.

    Roman Era

    Romans developed the concept further, requiring justification for excluding family members to prevent estates leaving the bloodline.

    1540 - Statute of Wills

    England's Statute of Wills allowed individuals to decide who would inherit their land, rather than it automatically passing to relatives or the Crown.

    1837 - Wills Act

    This Act unified legislation governing land, property, and personal possessions. Many of its rules remain valid today.

    1925 - Administration of Estates Act

    Introduced the Rules of Intestacy, which still govern what happens when someone dies without a will.

    Freedom to choose

    The concept of a will is straightforward: it gives you the legal right to pass on your property and possessions to anyone you wish. Surprisingly, people haven't always enjoyed this freedom—it's a relatively modern privilege that many take for granted.

    The intestacy problem

    The Rules of Intestacy remain unfavourable to unmarried couples. If you die without a will, your estate goes to blood relatives—not your partner, no matter how long you've been together.

    Make a will. It ensures your loved ones receive what you want them to have.
