As title - what happens to their belongings/assets/property if they die without a will?
Many thanks
Many thanks
What happens if your parents die and they have no will?
- Thread starter haaammit
- Start date
Many thanks - they both have many siblings, but only one offspring - who counts as next of kin? Siblings and offspring, or just offspring?
No - it came up in conversation that p and em don't have wills - em thinks making one will cause something terrible to happen (from what I can make out from the conversation with my dad
)
Cheers for the link, but owwwww - brain ache
The conversation came about because I was telling my dad that we (my wife and I) had recently made wills so our daughter would be looked after both financially and cared for in the event of our deaths. Our wishes regarding the disposal of our bodies has also been included, along with personal requests regarding the funeral.
Sounds a bit grim, but my mother-in-law died recently with no clear instructions on cremation/burrial etc and a very vague will. My wife is now a financial trustee for four children (only one is her child). We want to make sure all is sorted in the event of our deaths. Whilst telling my old man what we had done/sorted, he told me they had now wills as my mum thinks it's courting fate
Just after some info really.
Mum hates her family and my dad is indifferent to his. They obviously like me and absolutely dote on my daughter
I'm sure they would want everything to pass to me, but would that legally happen?Many thanks - sorry for the ramble
