Shaking-Up The Inheritance Laws

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.
