| Latest News PRESS RELEASE Single parents offered discounted wills SINGLE parents are being offered the opportunity to have a heavily discounted will written to protect their children’s future. The Society of Will Writers (SWW), the UK’s leading professional body for the will-writing industry, is once again hosting Single Parent Month throughout January. Research has shown that single parents are one of the most likely groups not to have a will and the SWW is keen to change this. We are offering single parents throughout the UK a chance to have their will written at a greatly reduced cost in the hope it will make them think about their children’s future and ensure, should anything happen to them, their children’s’ welfare is assured and that they would be entrusted to the person that they want to care for them, instead of leaving it to chance. SWW Director General, Brian McMillan, said: “As parents with young children most of us never think about dying but sadly not all parents live long enough to see their children grow up. For single parents particularly, a will is the most important thing you can do for your children to ensure that guardianship and trusts are put in place should the unthinkable happen before your child is 18. Throughout the month of January, our consultants across the country will be offering to write a single parent’s will for a fixed fee of £35 regardless of circumstances.

Quoting: SWW ABBEY Law commission Reforms on Intestacy CHILDREN GET HALF Q:My husband and I were separated but not divorced, and he has now died leaving a will in which he gives his share of the house to our three daughters
Our ownership of the house was split 50/50 by a notice of severance
Will i have to go to court to have this overturned ? A: When couples separate it is standard practice to issue a Notice of Severance. By signing such a notice, the property is held as tenants in common so that each party is able to dispose of their half share under a will The children may have to go to court if you refuse to sell or buy out their half share in the property
However, since you weren’t divorced at the date of his death you may be able to claim a share of your husband’s estate if no provision has been made for you
