1 in 3
UK adults wrongly assume their estate will automatically pass to loved ones if they die without a will — which is not how intestacy law works
Unmarried
partners receive nothing automatically under intestacy rules, regardless of how long they have lived together
54%
of UK parents have not named a guardian for their children in a will meaning that if both parents were to die, guardianship would be decided by the courts rather than by the parents themselves
What could happen if you die without a will?
called "dying intestate"
- Your wishes are not fulfilled
- Your loved ones face unnecessary delays, stress and legal costs
- Your estate is distributed according to strict legal rules, not personal choice
- The government could end up with more of your estate that they would if you had a valid will

Why a Will is important when you have young children
During the court process:
- Children may live under temporary arrangements
- Multiple relatives may apply for guardianship, leading to delays or disputes
- There is no guarantee the court-appointed guardian would be who the parents would have chosen
Family court data shows that cases involving children can take around 9–10 months on average to reach a final decision, prolonging uncertainty at an already traumatic time.
How Common Is Parental Loss?
- Around 46,300 children in the UK are bereaved of a parent every year
- That is approximately 127 children every single day
- 1 in 29 children will experience the death of a parent before the age of 18
While not all of these cases involve the loss of both parents, they highlight how unpredictable life can be, and why guardianship planning is so important.
