Would have thought that would have made a difference then. The law is really complicated though isn't it. my hubby and I both made wills not that we expect our children to fight when the time comes but I have a daughter from a previous relationship and it seemed easier to sort things out now. |

Yes the children are hers. She assumes she is OK if anything happens, but I am not convinced. |

Yes Ruth, but next of kin are the children, not the live-in-lover, or whatever you wish to call them. |

It's well worth making a will. |

Wendy that is what I thought. The kids are next of kin, she is 'nothing' to put it bluntly. |

Not sure but if there's no will I would have thought next of kin would benefit.may be wrong though. |

I'm not sure Heather. It is OK if the kids don't have a problem with their Mum, but otherwise can they take the lot? |

The live in partner is entitled to nothing if the 'other half' dies intestate. |

Isn't it a question of how long they've lived together? Heather |

This question of a couple living together, but not married is one I have been on about for a while. It isn't just a question of children, it is also the question of her rights if anything happens to him. If there is no will, and the children are older - do they have first right to the Estate? or is it hers? Any feed-back would be appreciated. Yes I am married, but I know someone who is not! |
