'Until death us do part.'

The horrible truth of that small sentence is that none of us really know when that might be.

Most of us dismiss the idea of it being anywhere in the near future but let’s face it, we really have no idea what tomorrow may bring.

Now you are married, you should realise that you have an overriding duty and obligation to ensure that your spouse is taken care of.

As Andrew recently found out after his recent RTA, losing the use of one leg is a bigger hindrance than he could have ever envisaged. In the same way, losing one half of a marriage will leave the survivor of you affected in ways which none of us can really foresee.

There is really nothing we can do about the certainty of death but each of us can at least make the effort to smooth the way for our surviving spouse and making a Will is one of them.

If you have made a Will previously, it all likelihood your marriage has cancelled it. You may be Intestate where the law provides how much your spouse will receive. Click here to see what the Rules of Intestacy say who should get what in these circumstances.

We offer fixed-fee Will writing for newly married couples of £275.00 (including VAT).  That is the cost of two Wills.

If you think some people might not take too kindly to your decisions and try to contest your Will, you might be interested in The Vital Testimony. While this will add to the cost it should avoid your beneficiaries paying thousands of pounds to lawyers in the future.
