Wills and Probate
More than half (52%) of the population have never thought about a will—and have no idea whether other family members have one, according to a new survey from Co-operative Legal Services (CLS). The poll of 3,000 people also reveals that 32% of people wouldn’t consider getting a will until they had children, a third of people say they feel too young to have a will, and 33% say they don’t have any assets to pass on. CLS managing director Eddie Ryan says: “It’s clear from the research that the vast majority of Britons are completely in the dark when it comes to the importance of having a will.”
