When love, law and legacy collided, who really inherited?

Meet David Thompson: a father, husband and client who believed his Will would stand the test of time.

But after remarrying, David never realised that his marriage had automatically revoked his Will… until it was too late.

In this powerful, story-led webinar, we followed David through three different scenarios to reveal how easily intentions could be lost, and how practitioners could protect families from the ripple effects.

We explored:

💔 What happened to a Will when someone remarried, and why intestacy could completely reshape who inherited.

💍 How a simple ‘contemplation of marriage’ clause could have preserved David’s children’s inheritance.

⚖️ How proposed reforms to the Wills Act, and upcoming pension changes, might have altered the landscape for clients and practitioners.

🧩 How tools in the Arken platform helped practitioners draft accurately, manage life events, and keep client wishes protected as circumstances (and legislation) evolved.
