The latest figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) have revealed the 15-44 age group has witnessed the greatest monthly surge in deaths, compared to every other age group – seeing a 12% rise.
From an average weekly total of 258 in June to 293 in July – this is a significant increase and highlights the importance of having a valid will in place from an early age, not just following retirement. If people have property, businesses, children or dependants they need to be educated on the consequences of not planning for the worst.
