Parents with children should make a will in order to appoint a guardian for their charges. In addition, inlaws could receive a portion of your estate. I think legally there is no such thing as a common law spouse. The amount going to a legal spouse without a will has been increased from £125,000 to £250,000. The remaining assets would be distributed to the childen according to Moira O'Neill writing in a recent Investors Chronicle.
Where there are no children involved then the statuory legacy can reach £450,000 compared with the previous level of £200,000. The remainder would go to the (dreaded?) inlaws.
