⚖️ Legal Myth vs Fact ⚖️
Myth: “Common law marriage gives the same rights as being married.”
Fact: In many situations, unmarried couples do not have the same legal protections — particularly when it comes to wills, probate, and separation.

Without a valid will, an unmarried partner may not automatically inherit from your estate under intestacy rules. Similarly, if a relationship breaks down, cohabiting couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples during divorce proceedings.

Planning ahead and understanding your legal position can help protect both you and your loved ones.

At Ward & Rider Solicitors, our team can provide clear advice on wills, probate, cohabitation matters, and family law.
