With no plan
By defaultWhat it costs: the home, the partner's pension, the proof.
- The survivor discovers the accounts one at a time, letter after letter. Some are never found.
- The civil partner or cohabitant inherits nothing. The married spouse shares the house with the children.
- The partner's pension was never declared to the pension fund: it does not exist.
- A judge picks who manages your affairs and who raises your children.
- After a burglary the insurer asks for receipts. They burned, or were never kept.
