What happens if I don't make a Will?

If you die without making a will (dying intestate), the law decides who inherits your possessions. This may be very different to your wishes. The important people in your life may not inherit. Instead distant relatives could receive your assets.

What is Probate?

Explained very simply, when someone dies and leaves money, possessions or property (their estate) someone needs to apply to Court for permission to represent the estate. This person will then pay all bills that are due and then share out the remainder according to the Will.
