Inheritance (Cohabitants) Bill [HL]
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill would change inheritance law so that unmarried partners who live together can inherit from each other when someone dies, similar to how married couples can now. Currently, cohabitants have no automatic inheritance rights unless their partner made a will naming them.
Presented by Lord Lester of Herne Hill.
