A colleague of mine shared this story with me before, her friend married a british guy and settled with her husband in the UK but after a year of marriage, the husband died because of heart attack or some disease.... the wife went back to the Philippines after that...

My question is if ever this situation happens to any wife, ( not hoping it to happen to me or to anybody) Can the wife continue living in the UK if she wants to and obtain a british citizenship eventually?

So Guys out there,take care of your beloved husband (kidding)

I haven't heard of anybody who has (and I hope I never do either) but checking the BIA website shows you can apply for ILR as a bereaved partner. Looking through the application form it seems like the BIA does show some compassion by making it easier to apply by not requiring proof of finances or accomodation.

And once you get ILR there is no reason why you can't get British citizenship though it might take longer than if your partner was still alive

As well as visas citzenship and what have you.

It may also be worthwhile to think about Life Insurance.
Particularly if bad fortune occured within a short time of arriving in the UK.

Some policys may not pay out to non UK residents (The defintion of which can vary)
Also although most do make sure you have a bank account and proof of address and ID.
Do you have Bills in your name and in your joint names?

Otherwise any paperwork maybe much harder to navigate though.

Do you know where all the household paperwork is and does you both have Wills?

If your Loved one passed away it is a tough time but it is really worth spending a few hours making sure everything is ok. Which hopefully means as your prepared your not have to worry about it in the near future.
