If Intestate Law complies with your wishes, you won't need to write a Will.
The other alternative is to just get married, which a couple of friends who've been together since 1987 are doing in a couple of weeks. Marriage has never been on the cards so to speak because it's just not their thing, but from a purely practical POV, they've opted for marriage over a Will. Registry office, four witnesses, no frocks, no reception, no nothing but signing a document. Probably cheaper than a Will too... if you are not married but have a long term partner, you really really should make a will else they'll get nowt or maybe even be homeless.

On the subject or marriage - when I was looking at wills and stuff I discovered that when you get married then any existing will become invalid immediately
SO if you have children and think that all is OK because you had a will done ages ago and nothing has changed because your wishes have not changed
but you have got married in the meantime - then something HAS changed - and everything will go to your wife no matter what
hence your kids get nothing from the will whatever you wanted
Of course - in an ideal world your wife would sort it all out
but things happen
