Review your Will and insurance policies

If your ex-partner is named in your Will, you’ll need to review it to make sure your wishes are reflected. This will help you plan for the future and protect your assets. You also need to contact your insurers to let them know about any changes to your home and life insurance policies.

Financial support if you have children
