An interesting article in The Telegraph regarding potential changes to inheritance laws.
The Government's law advisers want to make it law for unmarried couples, who have lived together for 5 years, to automatically inherit their partner's entire estate if they die intestate (without a will). The law currently only allows for an automatic inheritance for married couples without a will.
Where do you stand on it?
There will be those that argue that it diminishes the importance of families and marriage. Others will see it as a modern approach to a modern society.
