In the UK, remarrying (or a new civil partnership) generally cancels a will made before it. That can leave children from a previous relationship unprotected. Have you checked your will since you married again?

Probate isn’t the default step
I’ve made the same “play it safe” assumption before, and it costs families months. Ownership decides the route. Some joint assets and named beneficiary policies move direct. So why chase a grant for everything? What’s on your list first?

Many couples think “common-law partner” means you automatically keep the home. Generally, it doesn’t. How the property is owned can change the outcome. Full video is up now. Do you know if you own as joint tenants or tenants in common?

Marriage doesn’t mean your spouse gets everything
Die without a Will with kids, and intestacy splits the estate by a threshold. That’s how the home ends up shared and a sale follows. The law follows rules, not relationships. Have you checked your Will? #intestacy

Single with no kids? Dying without a Will can send your estate to distant relatives, or if no eligible family is found, the Crown. I hate how cold this sounds, but intestacy follows bloodlines, not real life. Who would inherit if you said nothing? #intestacy
