What Happens When There Is No Will?
When you die without leaving a valid Will, there are strict rules in place known as the ‘Intestacy Rules’ which decide how your estate is divided. The rules have no regard for your previous relationships with those people, which can mean your estate passes to an estranged family member.
The only way to truly guarantee that your estate is given to whom you wish is to write a Will. Our specialist team at Banner Jones can guide you through the different types of Wills so that we prepare the right one to suit your circumstances. Families can be complex and it’s important to have a Will written that reflects your wishes properly.
