Whether or not you make a will has absolutely no bearing on the rights of a future son-in-law or partner of your daughter.
So no, no need to make a will.
I would agree with this. She should also make a will in case her daughter pre-deceases her or in case they both die at the same time - who would she want her estate to go to then?I always thought that intestate estates were more messy, slower and difficult to deal with? Hence making a will is advisable in all cases. Am I wrong?

Many credit unions have a deal for members with a local solicitor to do a basic will for free. It might help you to sleep easier.
It's also good to cover the possiblity of her daughter dying before her. She may not be in good health or of sound mind when her daughter passes and may not be able to make her wishes known.If her daughter dies before her, she can make a will. But making a will as to what would happen in the event they die simultaneously is a good point if OP cares to cover that possibility.
... I could just as easily write my own will and sign it in front of a witness.. couldn't I? A friend of mine did this for his mother, and kept her wishes in the glove compartment of his car until she died 5 years later!
