"At present long term partners have to apply through the courts for financial assistant from a late partners estate should that partner die intestate. This is very costly and can have serious implications especially where there are minor children involved. Surviving partners should be able to inherit in order to continue to spport families."
My sympathy for anyone whose long-term partner has died is great. If their pain is worse because they're having to fight in the courts to inherit, that's very sad, but why on earth does it require legislation. Any silly sod who hasn't left a Will is a silly sod. And any parent who hasn't left a Will deserved a slapping.
Making a Will is not difficult. Nor need it be expensive. If you don't love your partner enough to make a Will to protect them in the event of your death, that's a very sad thing. We don't need more legislation; we need people to be sensible enough to make a Will.
