What Happens If You Don’t Have a Will?
Without a Will:
Your estate is distributed according to strict legal succession rules called the Rules of Intestacy
Unmarried partners may not inherit anything
Family disputes can arise
The Probate process can take longer and cost more
In short, it removes your control at the most important time.
What a Will Actually Does
A Will (also called a Last Will and Testament) is a legal document that sets out what happens to your estate when you die.
A properly written Will allows you to:
Choose who inherits your money, property and possessions
Choose Executors to manage your estate
Choose and Name Guardians for your children
Leave gifts or donations to people or charities you care about
Provide clear instructions to avoid confusion or disputes
Types of Wills
Not all Wills are the same. Choosing the wrong type can cause problems later.

How Much Does a Will Cost in Devon?
Many people are surprised at how affordable a professionally written Will can be.
Typical options include:
Simple Will: from £85
Tailored Will: from £149
While DIY and online Will services exist, they are often best suited to very simple situations and free Will offers might seem attractive, but you need to ask yourself why they are free - most are lead generation devices for sales organisations.
If you own property, have children, or have anything more than basic assets or wishes, professional advice helps ensure your Will is legally correct and actually works when it matters, and whether a Simple Will is fine or a more Tailored approach is needed is a good starting point. Find out now...
Mirror Wills (for couples)
If you’re in a relationship, you may want to consider Mirror Wills.
These are two separate Wills that reflect each other’s wishes and are commonly used by couples who want similar arrangements.
However, it’s important to remember:
Each person still needs their own legally valid Will
They can be changed independently in the future
Protecting Your Estate Further
For some people, a Simple or Tailored Will is plenty and will do the job just fine. For others, more protection is needed.
A Protective Will may include a Trust structure, know as a Will Trust, which can help:
Protect assets from a beneficiary's divorce
Support care fee planning
Allow a partner or spouse to be supported financially but keep assets safe for others (children)
Control how, when and even if beneficiaries inherit
Keep assets from suffering inheritance tax twice
This type of Will is particularly useful for blended family situations, second marriages or simply, let's be honest, the son or daughter-in-law is very nice, but you just want to be sure your hard earned assets stay in your bloodline.
Probate & What Happens Next
When someone passes away, their estate usually goes through Probate which is the legal process of administering their assets.
A well-written Will is going to give you the peace of mind that:
Probate will be faster, so assets are available quicker
Stress for your family is much reduced
disputes and delays are avoided
