Your solicitor should be talking you through your options as part of the house purchasing process.
Thats awesome, best news all day, just saved us paying for a will.
I guess this only ties us financially for the property... as in it cant be used as leverage for any of our other assets if we split up etc. We dont want to be married but feel its right other person gets house in event of death etc.0
