What happens if you die without a Will?

If you die without making a Will, you will die Intestate. This means that a set of rules, called the Intestacy Rules, will decide how your property, possessions or money should be distributed between members of your family.  Your wishes will not play any part in how your estate is distributed between your family and loved ones.  These rules can have unwanted consequences for what happens to your estate after you die and, if you have children under the age of 18, you will also have no say in what happens to them and who looks after them.  Find out more here
