More than half of people don\u2019t have a will, and many others have a will they have failed to update, according to research by Royal London.<\/p>\n
Out of 2,006 adults surveyed, 54% admitted they don\u2019t have a will, and 59% of parents either don\u2019t have a will or have one that\u2019s out of date.<\/p>\n
Around 53% of people has not updated their will, despite around three in ten (31%) having experienced a significant life event since they made it.<\/p>\n
Many are unaware that getting married or entering into civil partnership will cancel any previously existing wills.<\/p>\n
Mona Patel, consumer spokesperson for Royal London, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce you have a will, you should update it after any significant life events that could affect your financial situation, such as getting married, divorced or starting a family.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking these important steps allows you to have peace of mind knowing that when you\u2019re gone your wishes are met.\u201d<\/p>\n
While using a solicitor remains the most popular way of writing a will, we can also help with drawing up a will as part of our estate planning service.<\/p>\n
Most of the survey respondents who have written a will describe the process as \u201cquick\u201d (85%) and \u201ceasy\u201d (90%)<\/p>\n
