The estate does not automatically go to the children if the parents are not married.
If there is a will left, ,then it will go to whoever is the beneficiary.

The will has to be approved through an attorney, just writing one on a napkin is seldomly enough.

And with all the rules and laws and regulation, it's hard to make a will unless "everything goes to my spouse".

And in case of a break up the will would have to be changed.



It's just as complicated as getting married and divorced, so I don't see why making a will should be more efficient.
And it doesn't have any advantages when it comes to breaking apart.

I have a will made and it was very uncomplicated, for now everything does go to my children with my brother as executor.

I am alone and do not have to consider a partner, but when I have a partner and we become a committed couple then I will adjust that will accordingly, whether we are married o9r not, but my estate, I would prefer to go to my children, if I have a partnership and he has children then I would expect the same.

NorseMedic: Sorry to say I don’t know a lot of people who are fair with their partner when it comes to breaking up. I’ve never heard of someone being noble and saying “Of course (s)he deserves half of everything I owe, without him/her I couldn’t live the life I’ve had over the years together”. It’s all mine, I and me and “Why should I share when it was ME making all the money”.


I think I was more than fair with my ex when she came to me asking for a divorce. I didn't argue it because I knew if she wasn't happy soon I woulldn't be happy and I didn't not want to be happy. I earned about 85% of the income. I gave her everything she wanted. I got hammered in the end in the divorce. I am still making my way back financially. All I can say i'm glad she did it and I hope she is happy.

That the way it is in AU and if you want to contest it, it goes to courst. A will is a will here written on a napkin or not.thumbs up

I doubt if I'll ever get married again.

If I met someone I really loved I'd just as soon live together and sign a pre-nup agreement.

That way if our relationship didn't work out we just go our seperate ways and take what's our own belongings without lawyers involved.

But where are you from? The laws are different from each country. I know it can be a bit frustrating in the US because of all the laws and it's almost impossible without the help of an attorney, a little easier in Denmark though.

Are you not originally from the UK? Or do I remember wrong.

I am from the UK, yes and laws are different in each country.

But I would not get married just because I would have a will.

My life is ok, I do not want any more children, I have my two, so I have no burning emotional desire to get married again.

Here, you do not need a lawyer to write a will, but I felt it was better to have it rubber stamped by a lawyer.

I totally understand that. It's not that I'm firmly PRO marriage. I just see some benefits to it, besides cake on the wedding day.

My brother wished for "experiences to have together" - so they got travels and movie tickets and a years membership of an ice skating range and also skates... All sorts of cool stuff.

I'm gonna do that too I think.

No dont get me wrong I didnt think of him on my wedding night but he was bloody good looking, looking back.

Lagoona if you have a problem with me can I suggest you just have the balls to come out and say it rather then just be a smartass.
