Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in United Kingdom

Re: Wills

Hi. I am afraid that it is indeed the case that marriage revokes and makes invalid a will made before that marriage. The only exception is when the will is made in contemplation of the marriage and states that that is the case.

Although there may well be an intestacy here, in many such cases a person is entitled to make a claim on the estate under the Inheritance (provision for family and dependants)Act. I would need further information from you before being able to advise whether this could be the case. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can help a further.
