My bf and I, have decided it is about time we draw up a will... due to the house purchase, other investments and the amount of travel we both must do for our jobs, we feel it is best to draw up a will.
I have obtained a "Will Questionnaire" and some of the questions pertain to past marriages. Which prompted the question of... if one is only separated, with a SA and not divorced, does the ex spouse have more legal rights? I have read on this forum before, that the only real reason to be divorced is if one wishes to remarry... however, could a spouse that is not divorced be entitled to more than what is left in the Will, just because they are not divorced?
There are obviously somethings that are left to the ex such has life insurance for the children in the event bio Dad passes, but what about other things that are being left strictly to the children or other family members?
