Today's family patterns and complex economic arrangements complicate the settlement and division of many deceased's estates.
It is important to evaluate the situation in advance, in order to consider whether the statutory scheme is suitable or whether other arrangements should be made through e.g a will. Unmarried couples where one or both of the parties have children from previous relationships may for instance wish to establish arrangements to accommodate situations where the statutory solution may not be an ideal fit.
