Writing a will to include provision for new partner & grown up kids

Hi everyone - new to this forum. I have done a search but can't quite see what I want. In short, I have been divorced for 15 years. I have been in my "new" relationship for the past 4 years and we have been living together in "my" home for the past 18 months. I am early 50's female, I have my two sons living still at home, aged 23 and 21 - both working and mostly out and about. So, I have a mortgage on my house for £170k, the house is worth around £320k. My lovely man pays rent to live with us. I have life insurance which pays the mortgage if I "pop off" early. My will was written a long time ago (I know, I need to do a new one) and was for when I was single and also for when my kids were both pre 21. I was wondering what other people have done with regard to wills ... if I do pop off earlier than expected, I don't want my partner to be left homeless (as all will be left to my 2 grown boys). In the future, it may be that I will have some financial provision for my partner and we might even buy a place together but as a divorcee and the fact I have worked damn hard to keep my head above water etc in the past, there is no financial provision for my b/f at present (3 years is still early days for me) but I don't want him to find himself without a home. Your advice, stories, experiences, recommendations on a will writing company will be most gratefully received. Thank you all.

I'm a bit concerned that if it all went tits up, your OH could argue he'd contributed towards your mortgage. Do you have a rent agreement?

I'd be encouraging him to buy somewhere to rent out, so that he's not left homeless if you died.
