What Happens If You Don’t Make a Will?
If you don’t have a will, you are said to have died intestate. This means the rules laid down by the state will decide what happens to your estate. Many people wrongly assume their current spouse will automatically inherit everything, but this is not always the case. For instance, if you have ever been divorced or separated, it is best to make a will to avoid an estranged partner inheriting while your current partner misses out.
