Nursery painted? Tick. Tiny socks washed and folded? Tick. Wills written? Ah.
We get it. With a baby on the way, writing your Wills isn’t exactly the fun part of the to-do list. But have you decided who would look after your little one if something happened to you? A Will gives you a way to appoint the people you trust as guardians and make your wishes clear. It feels like a big job, but it’s simpler than you might think.
Here’s why it’s worth doing now, plus how Cubbi parents can get two Wills completely free.
1. You decide who would look after your children
A Will allows you to appoint the people you trust to be your children’s guardians. If you haven’t named guardians in a Will, your wishes may not be clear. A court could then need to decide who should care for your children. It’s not an easy thing to think about, but making your wishes clear can give you real peace of mind.
2. It protects your partner (especially if you’re not married)
Many people don’t realise that unmarried partners don’t automatically inherit from each other without a Will, regardless of how long they’ve been together.
A Will lets you decide who inherits what, helping protect the person you share your life, home and family with.
3. Your wishes are clear, so your family isn’t left guessing
A Will covers much more than you might expect. As well as guardians, you can decide who inherits your home and belongings, how old your children should be before they inherit, and who looks after their finances for them when they’re too young.
Your child is counting on you to make the important decisions that protect their future. Take control now, make your wishes clear and put the right plans in place.
Cubbi Tip 💡 Future Life are a second-generation family business who’ve written over 12,000 Wills for parents just like you. Through Cubbi, you and your partner can get 2 legally binding Wills for FREE, worth £700. One offer per couple, and one big job ticked off the list.
So how does it actually work?
What’s the process?
Fill in a short form on the Future Life website and they’ll get in touch to book your appointment, fitting around you and your baby. A dedicated Will writer talks you through everything with simple, straightforward questions and no legal jargon. Couples get two separate Wills. Each Will is individually tailored to reflect your own wishes and circumstances, rather than simply mirroring each other. When your appointment is done, your Wills are drafted and sent to you to sign in front of witnesses, and that’s it.
How long does it take?
The appointment takes around 30 minutes, a little longer if your finances are more complicated. It’s a small investment of time to get your family’s important paperwork in place and make your wishes clear.
Is it really free?
Yes. Wills through this offer are completely free, and that includes both Wills for you and your partner. You also choose your own executors, so there are no hidden fees for your family later down the line.
