The BBC reported that in 2011 only three in 10 people in the UK had a will and the Treasury gained £53m from people who died intestate – without a will. The year before it was even higher at £76m.
Following our series last week summarising the highlights from the 2013 budget we thought we would share some quite staggering statistics.

I was frustrated. I had been running a successful business for many years and I knew that I should have been saving for my retirement, but I just couldn’t afford it. I needed a strategic plan so my retirement dreams could become a reality, ensuring my family would be looked after.
I was so busy working in my business that I needed someone to take a view and provide strategic advice. I wanted an independent review of the business to ensure we had the right structures in place to look after our employees, maximise tax efficiency and protect against the unexpected.
