Who should we tell after we get married? Just a legal/financial question.

What legal/financial arrangements will marriage make a difference to? I'm thinking insurance, possibly mortgage lender, solicitor to draw up a will (which is one of the reasons we're getting married) but is there anyone else that has to know?

We're just doing it in a register office and not telling family or friends until long long after. I am not changing my surname, neither are the kids. Dp already has parental responsibility for both children and we have already appointed guardians just in case we both die. We already have a joint mortgage. I'm guessing it might make a difference to insurance premiums as it will make dp appear lower 'risk' than a single man, but that seems to be it. Have I missed anything?

The register office website seems to be down, unfortunately, otherwise I might be able to check it on a site they link to. But I thought mumsnetters might be helpful...

If you work and have benefits provided by your employer it may be worth telling them

thanks TheBlonde, hadn't thought of that. I am not working at the mo but it might make some difference to dp's benefits.
