Making a Will

Saturday, 1st February, 2014

If you die without making a Will, the law provides that your spouse is entitled to your entire estate if there are no children.

If you leave a spouse and children your spouse gets two-thirds and one-third goes to your children.

If you do not have a spouse, your entire estate goes to your children.

If a child of yours dies before you, leaving children, then those children take their parent’s share.

If you do not have a spouse or children, your parents are entitled to your entire estate.

If both parents are deceased, then your estate is divided between your brothers and sisters (if any brother or sister dies before you and leaves children, then those children (nieces and nephews) take their parents share).
