Not Married
|
What happens if you are a single person and die intestate? (This includes anyone who is not married, regardless of whether they cohabit with their partner or not). |
If
your estate is worth over £25,000
and you have not made a Will then your estate will be distributed
under the rights of Succession.
Most people who fall within this category do not have a Will... If you have a partner, they receive NOTHING! - everything goes to: |
 |
the deceased's parents- if none then to... |
|
any brothers and sisters - if none then... |
|
to grandparents - if none then to... |
|
uncles and aunts - if none then to... |
|
the Government |
If it can be proven that the deceased is the real parent of children
then they will receive everything. |
(applies
to UK except Scotland) |
