Wills

Sorry to hear you've had a distressing morning, Clive. I appreciate the reminder, though. I had a will when I was married but I presume that it's null and void now I'm divorced. And like Tika - need to make sure little Oscar is provided for.

Shall look into it today.

No. Will's are voided by marriage but not by divorce (or at least that was the case when i studied it many years ago). Get a will.

This morning a colleague (non legal) came to see me in tears. Her partner and she were both from Eastern Europe. He died a few months ago aged 33 in an accident. They were not married. He had no will. He was estranged from his father who is somewhere in the US. A real mess. A will would have resolved it.
