    Hi,

    I am looking for some help/advice. I bought a house on my own a few years ago. I do not have a will.
    Me and my partner are now getting married and we have a child together.
    If something were to happen to me after we get married, will he inherit the house? I want to make sure that he would be looked after along with our child.

    Thanks for any help

    I'm deliberately not answering your other question - if you want to make sure 'he would be looked after' then make a will. Asking anonymous people on the internet is not the way to go about it.

    A will becomes invalid when you get married so the best thing to do is make a will as soon as possible after the marriage.

    Thanks for your unhelpfulness, I got my answer somewhere else.

    If either of you die with out a will, there is a legal procedure to divide the estate.

    But this will take a lot longer to happen than if there is a will. A will avoids any such complications and ensure exactly what you want happens.
