don't see a problem here as the partner if mentally competent to make this decision can easily at the same time sign over all money and property to partner or to whom they wish to leave things to before hand with a solicitor to witness they did so freely and of their own will long before doing the deed
if they are not capable of this i would hazard to say they are not capable of making the decision
where it is sudden i can understand some would say this might be a problem but really its just another reason for setting out your will with instructions in case of a situation where you feel you wouldn't want to live ! just because some wont shouldn't be a reason to put lots of vulnerable people at risk from the abuse if this law was changed
