How does it work?
Arken Intestacy is a simple, client-facing questionnaire, that businesses can host on their website to capture leads and encourage new enquiries. Desktop, tablet and mobile-friendly - it can be accessed from anywhere and takes only a minute to complete.
Users are presented with one question per page, making it easy to answer with the click of a mouse or a tap of a finger. A series of questions are asked about marital status, whether they have children, etc. Once the system has established who the estate would go to, it stops asking questions and allows the user to generate results quickly, generating their own personalised on-screen assessment of what would happen if they were to die intestate in their particular circumstances. All too often, this will be totally different to what the user would wish and so may just be the wake up call they need to put a Will in place.
Integrate with Arken Online Wills and Arken Acquire to deliver straightforward Wills efficiently via your website 24/7, while taking instructions for more complex requirements.

The Impact of Intestacy: Unmarried Couples
At Arken.legal, we would strongly advocate that everyone should have a Will for the sake of certainty in estate planning: being able to express final wishes in respect of who is to administer the estate, where property is to be given and on what terms, funeral arrangements, arrangements for pets and guardianship arrangements for children. But this urging would be particularly strong in relation to unmarried couples because the effect of not making a Will can be disastrous.
According to the Office of National Statistics, there are over six million people cohabiting in the UK, that is one in eight people over the age of 16 are living together but not married or in a registered civil partnership. Given this is such a large and growing demographic, the law applying to unmarried couples is woefully inadequate, and often completely inequitable compared to their officially wedded counterparts. Such people might erroneously think that the law offers them the protection and rights accorded to married people because they are “common law husband and wife” by virtue of long-term cohabitation. Sadly, they are almost three hundred years out-of-date in their belief – the concept of “common law spouses” has not existed in English law since 1753. Under English law, unmarried cohabitees are treated as completely independent people.
