Dying without a Will in England and Wales
July 16, 2006One of the commonest mistakes people make, and why many put off making a will, is they believe that if they are married their entire estate will pass automatically to their spouse.
This is NOT the case.
If you die and have not made a will you will be deemed to have died intestate. The government then dictates who gets what and the following rules apply:-
Married with Children (separated people are treated under these rules as still being married)
1) Your spouse gets:
a) car and house contents, plus
b) first £125,000 of your estate, plus
c) 6% interest on half of any surplus (only interest, your spouse cannot touch the capital)
2) Your children (stepchildren get nothing) get:
a) half of any excess over £125,000 outright, plus
b) the other half of the excess when your spouse has also died
Married with No Children but with Parents and/or Brothers and Sisters
1) Your spouse gets:
a) car and house contents, plus
b) first £200,000 of your estate, plus
c) half of any excess over £200,000 outright
2) Your parents or (if none alive) your brothers and sisters get:
a) Balance i.e. half of any excess over £200,000 outright
Married with No children and No Parents or Brothers and Sisters
Your spouse gets everything
Single, Widowed or Divorced (but not separated)
Everything goes to your children (if any), otherwise to your parents (if alive), otherwise to your brothers and sisters (or their children), otherwise your grandparents (if alive), otherwise your uncles and aunts (or their children), otherwise to the government!
