Yes Alan, but what about a will?

I was informed that the the law on Wills was changed and that they now share the inheritance between the direct family; the spouse getting 50% and all the family (including the spouse) sharing the other 50%. This makes Wills suggesting the use of English Law uncertain.
This is to prevent blood fueds as I understand murders over wills between family members was quite common. The only way you can guarantee loved ones getting their inheritance is to leave it to them before you die.
I'm sure someone can clarify this.
