We Own Separate Homes. Should We Write a Will?

A couple who live together alternately in their two separate homes wants to know whether they need to make a will. They describe themselves as partners who live separately but usually spend time together, switching between their respective residences.

The question centers on inheritance rights and how unmarried partners should plan for the future when each person owns a home. Svenska Dagbladet’s family lawyer, Caroline Elander Knip, provides advice on how such couples can approach the issue.
