Financial guru Martin Lewis has issued an urgent warning to couples who live together but are not married.
The warning is to let couples know to have financial arrangements in place to help their assets, if one of them dies. Chronicle Live reports that Martin said that if people do not want to tie the knot, then they should either get a will, civil partnership or some other contract to lawfully inherit their partner's assets.
In the latest Money Saving Expert newsletter, Martin said that people who aren't married or in a civil partnership have no status under inheritance law.
