How to Protect Your Children’s Inheritance from Divorce and Relationship Breakdown

Avoid the mistake that could cost your family everything you’ve worked for.

Imagine This…

You pass away having done the right thing, leaving your house, savings, or investments to your children.
But within a few years, one of them separates or divorce…and suddenly, half of what you left them is gone.
Gone to their ex. Gone from your family.
Gone forever.

It Happens Every Day – Even with a Will in Place

Most parents assume a simple Will is enough. But the truth is: once your child inherits your estate directly, it becomes theirs, and legally open to divorce claims.

Divorce rates in the UK are high (42%) higher in second marriages.
Non married couples experience a 70% ‘breakup rate’.
The courts don’t care where the money came from, only that it’s now part of the pot.
A bitter ex-partner can end up with hundreds of thousands of pounds of your hard-earned legacy

And your child? They’re left picking up the pieces financially and emotionally.

What’s At Risk?

In many areas in North London, Hertfordshire and Essex the average home is worth between £500,000 and £1.5 million.
That means even half an inheritance could be enough to fund a new life… for your child’s ex.
