When there is no Will in place
When someone dies without making a Will, they are said to have died “intestate”, and different rules apply. When this happens the law sets out who should deal with the person’s affairs and who benefits. This can be a complex situation and there is a list of people who may be entitled to the estate in turn. Further information can be found on line at www.gov.uk or you can involve a solicitor to help you through the process. Another source of information on Wills can be found at
