Dying Without a Will (intestate)

The State has a will for you:

• A life time partner gets nothing

• A married spouse (and registered civil partner) only gets £250,000 outright if you leave children and £450,000 outright if you do not leave children.

• Children inherit equally. No account is made of lifetime transfers. Step children do not inherit.

• Distant relatives may inherit

• Disputes can cause delay, expense and bitterness, particularly if you have children by a former marriage

• If you have minor children they will inherit but a former spouse will be their guardian and so control all your assets. This can be avoided.

Writing a will is not a problem.
