What happens to my Estate if I don't make a Will?
When someone dies without leaving a Will, this is known as dying intestate. When this happens, a set of standard legal rules called the Rules of Intestacy are used to divide up and share out property, money and possessions. This means that you won't have any say in what happens to your estate –even if you have told those close to you how you would like your assets to be shared, without a valid Will in place, your wishes will not be followed.
