"We married later in life, having not seen each other for many years, so we don’t have any children. To see how the lovely children are suffering breaks my heart so we want to give something back for you to be able to continue to look after them"
- Jenny and Terry Millen have kindly left a gift in their will, to Demelza.

When a person dies without leaving a valid will, their property (the estate) must be shared out according to certain rules. These are called the rules of intestacy. A person who dies without leaving a will is called an intestate person.
Only married or civil partners and some other close relatives can inherit under the rules of intestacy.
If someone makes a will but it is not legally valid, the rules of intestacy decide how the estate will be shared out, not the wishes expressed in the will.
Yes you can write a will yourself.
But it is recommended that you seek professional advice and consult a solicitor who are specialists in this area, especially if your will is not straightforward.
