Q: Can my partner spend all the money in our joint account?
A: Any money put into a joint account is treated as jointly owned so either of you can remove it at any time, even if one of you put in more money than the other.

Q: Am I liable for the debts my partner has run up on our joint credit card?
A: Yes. Your bank or credit card company can chase both of you or just one of you for the whole debt.

Q: I am unmarried but I live with my partner. Should I make a Will including him?
A: Assuming you want your partner to inherit from you, it is very important for you as an unmarried person to make a Will. Because of how the law works, your unmarried partner will receive nothing if you die without making a Will in their benefit.
