New research has found that 30 million British people do not have a will.
The Populus research, conducted by Which? revealed that 61% of British adults do not have a will.
The survey further found that people in England are more likely (42%) than those in Wales (35%) and Scotland (31%) to have made wills.
Darren Stott, managing director of Which? Legal said,
“It’s clear that people don’t appreciate the risks of not having a valid will in place. Even if you think you have nothing worth inheriting, this is often not the case.
“Whatever stage of life you’re at, a will offers peace of mind and ensures that your money, property and other possessions go to the right place.
“Giving money to charity in your will can be a tax efficient way to pass your money on.”
