I have been married to a man 25 years older than me for four years. Recently his behaviour has changed, which may be connected with his age. When I suggested he make a will he told me it was none of my business; I was shocked and upset, especially when I discovered he had already made a will. Do I have any security?
You are entitled to a fair share of the family assets under the family provision legislation. So even if your husband has made a will leaving what he owns to someone else you will be able to challenge it in the courts. It would obviously be better and cheaper not to have to do this. Why not suggest you visit a solicitor together to draw up both your wills?
