1. This is guidance — and only ever guidance

Everything produced by ukworkrights.co.uk is general guidance. It is not legal advice. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified solicitor. Never treat it as the final word — use it as a starting point, then check and take responsibility for any action you take.

2. AI can make mistakes

The guidance is generated by artificial intelligence. AI can and does make mistakes — wrong dates, wrong figures, wrong legal references, missed nuances. Read everything carefully. If the matter is serious, get it checked by ACAS, Citizens Advice, or a qualified solicitor before acting on it.

3. Verified figures and guidance sources

Statutory figures (such as rates for minimum wage, SSP, redundancy, pension contributions, council tax bands, flight compensation amounts, and benefit rates) are verified against GOV.UK, ACAS, Citizens Advice, and relevant regulatory bodies. Laws and rates change regularly. Always verify important figures at gov.uk before making decisions or taking action.

4. Your description stays private

The situation you describe is used to generate your guidance and is then discarded. It is never stored or shared. Any informal language, slang, or strong emotion in your description will not appear in the output.

5. Your responsibility

By using this service you accept that you will treat all output as general guidance only, verify important information with official sources, and seek professional legal advice for serious or complex matters. ukworkrights.co.uk and UK Work Rights Ltd accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance on this service.

Wills, Probate & Inheritance Rights — Contesting & Disputes

If someone dies without a valid will (intestate), the estate is distributed under the Rules of Intestacy — prioritising spouses, civil partners and children. Unmarried partners have no automatic right to inherit, regardless of how long they lived together.

Probate is required to administer most estates. You can apply for a Grant of Probate online if you are named executor. The cost is £273 for estates over £5,000. Wills can be contested on grounds of lack of capacity, undue influence or improper execution.

Key areas covered: intestacy rules, probate, contesting a will, executor duties, inheritance disputes, Grant of Probate. Verified against GOV.UK.
