I am the relative of the deceased, but there is no Will. What do I do?

By

If there is no Will, the Estate will be dealt with by the rules of Intestacy.  These rules will dictate how the Estate is divided and who will inherit.

Administrators will need to be appointed to deal with the Estate and these will usually be relatives of the deceased.
