If the latter the property will not form part of your estate and will automatically pass to the survivor without even the need for probate. If the former then the provisions of the will apply (subject to any challenge) and the property would pass in accordance with the will. Probate is likely to be needed in these circumstances. So civil partnership makes little difference to the inheritance position other than in terms of potential future inheritance tax when the survivor of you passes. You would need to seek tax advice as to the same.\r\n\r\nAs to an LPA (Lasting Power of Attorney) it is always sensible to have one in place to govern finances, health or both in the future.
