Dying intestate
Description
Dying intestate refers to the situation where an individual passes away without leaving a valid will, resulting in their estate being distributed according to default legal rules rather than personal wishes. The essential strategy involves promoting the creation and regular updating of wills to ensure assets are allocated as intended, minimize family disputes, reduce legal complications, and expedite estate settlement, thereby remedying the uncertainties and inefficiencies that arise from intestate succession.
Implementation
Two thirds of people in the UK do not make a will before they die.
