If you die without a valid Will you have died Intestate and your property
(Estate) is distributed according to the Law of Intestacy.
Some old wives' tales need to be dealt with:-
My spouse(husband/wife) or Civil Partner will inherit everything
anyway. I've told the children what I want, so that's all right. The Law treats the person I am living with as if we were married
or in a Civil Partnership.
Not so. The Law says what a surviving spouse can automatically receive.
The amount is depends on whether you are also survived by children and
by certain other relatives.
Not so. History is littered with ungrateful and greedy children who ignore
their parents wishes. The best way to provide for your loved ones is to
make a Will.
Completely wrong. Unless you make a Will that person will receive nothing
without going to court - even if you have had children together. See the
answer on my FAQ page.
