Comprehensive Will for an unmarried person (pair)

Compatible region(s): Northern Ireland England Wales

These Wills are suitable for unmarried couples (or those not in a civil partnership) where each partner wishes to complete a Will. Note that buying this document will provide you with two separate Will questionnaires, one for each partner, that can be completed with different beneficiaries and gifts.

Our 'Comprehensive will for an unmarried person' allows you to leave instructions about what should happen to your estate when you die. For example, it lets you specify who should inherit belongings and property, and how your money should be distributed. You can also name a guardian for any children under the age of 18 and appoint up to four executors – people who will be responsible for implementing your instructions in your Will and for the administration of your estate.

Comprehensive Will for an unmarried person (Guidance Notes)

Use this Will if you're aged 18 or above and not currently married or in a civil partnership. This includes those who've divorced or had their civil partnership dissolved, those whose spouse or civil partner has died, and those who've never been married or in a civil partnership. Use it if you're single or in a relationship.

It will allow you to make as many gifts of money or specific items you would like. You will be able to leave the remainder of your estate after making gifts to as many people as you like, either in equal shares or in varying percentages. You can also vary how you would like to leave the remainder of your estate, make provisions for the care of pets and appoint guardians for any children.

This Will is suitable for use in England & Wales and Northern Ireland.

Letter of wishes (Guidance Notes)
Service level: Self Service

A letter of wishes is an informal letter addressed to your executors or to the trustees of any trust created by your Will. It is used to tell them what you would like to happen following your death. Unlike your Will, the letter of wishes does not become publicly available when you die. It can be used to help or guide your executors or trustees on pretty much anything you wish. It does not interfere with or restrict the discretion of the executors or trustees in any way.

Notice of severance of a joint tenancy (Guidance Notes)
Service level: Self Service
This document is used to sever a 'joint tenancy' of property and, if the property is registered, to register that change at the Land Registry. This converts a joint tenancy into a tenancy in common. This document creates two copies of a notice of severance and, if the property is registered at the Land Registry, a form SEV and a covering letter to the Land Registry. This document can only be used in in relation to property in England or Wales, of which there are one or two owners and two joint tenants. Land Registry forms are reproduced with the permission of HM Land Registry.
