More than a third of unmarried couples living together in Britain do not know what their legal rights would be if their partner were to pass away without drawing up a will.

One in ten mistakenly believe that they would inherit their partner's share of any property they own together - but this would only be the case if their partner had asked for this to happen in their will.
