Intestate.
Intestate is quite simply the term given when a person dies without making a Legal Will, most people die without making a will, the figures are around two out of three of us do not have a Will, this can make it very difficult for the surviving relatives of the deceased; we can not stress enough the importance of preparing a Legal Will, which can save time, money and a potential family problem in the future.
If a member of your family has died without making a Legal Will we recommend that you seek legal advice, gather together as much information about the deceased's estate in advance as it will help your solicitor.
Intestate Laws are set out for the distribution of an estate in the event of a person dying.
The Government have a question and answer guide that will give you an indication on how the estate will be divided up

In general, the Law states that the assets from the estate after all costs, are divided between legal relatives and blood relatives, the distribution differs depending on relationship the potential beneficiary had to the deceased.
For more information on any potential claim contact a solicitor who will be able to help and provide guidance if you wish to administer the estate.
