A third way for couples to own their home is as “tenants in common.” If you and your spouse or civil partner own your house as “tenants in common,”
when you pass away your half of the home will not automatically pass to your spouse or civil partner. In the absence of a Will your home will be dealt
with under the Rules of Intestacy which again could cause your spouse or civil partner to lose out. A valid and up to date Will could prevent this.
Finally, in the absence of a Will unmarried couples have no rights to the assets of their life partner at all in the event of their death.
The simple act of making a Will can solve so many problems.
