Wills and Probate Solicitors in Cottingham

Couples who live together without getting married often believe they will inherit from each other. However, cohabiting partners do not have automatic rights under intestacy laws. If one partner passes away without a will, the surviving partner may need to make a claim against the estate. If the home is owned as tenants in common, the share of the partner who died will not automatically pass to the survivor.

Cottingham is located on the north-western edge of Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire and is often regarded as one of the largest villages in England. Properties in this area often include family homes, period houses near the village centre and bungalows.
