Congrats Crazygran how wonderful. I wish you every happiness.
Word of caution though re the complications of Wills. It can get messy. Most couples with children from previous relationships set up a Will that assets will be divided equally when both have died. So surviving person can stay in the home until their death.
This is all very well but, what if surviving person meets someone else? Do they have to move out upon the surviving persons' death? Bit unfair. Lose your partner and your home. But if they stay, and they have kids, how does that all work out? So it's worth more thought.
I only know this because of a huge family rift in my family when that very same thing happened. The DD of the person who died took her SF to court as he met someone else which made her worried for her inheritance. Everyone fell out. No one now talks.
So it's important everyone knows where they stand if finances are blended.
