The Problem
Karen, a business owner in Kent, believed her family “knew what she wanted” if something happened. She never got round to writing a will.
Why It Mattered
When she suddenly passed away, her estate fell under intestacy rules. Her partner of 15 years – not legally married – received nothing, while distant relatives inherited. The family faced costly disputes at an already heart-breaking time.
The Backstory
Like many, Karen put it off, thinking she was too young and healthy to need a will. October’s Will Writing Month highlights just how common this mindset is in the UK.
