Martin Lewis has issued an important financial warning to couples that live together but are not yet married.
In the unfortunate event that one of the partners passes away, not being married may make managing assests difficult. The MoneySavingExpert founder said that if a couple decides to not get married, then they should either get a will, civil partnership, or some other form of contract that allows the surviving partner to lawfully inherit assets.
Speaking in the latest MSE newsletter, Mr Lewis stressed that couples who aren't married or in a civil partnership have no status under inheritance laws. Therefore, they run the risk of losing an asset which they assumed they would naturally inherit if a loved-one passed away, the Mirror reports.
