New York State writes your will for you. If a person passes away as a resident of New York State but leaves no will, then all individually owned property passes ing to the New York laws of intestacy. This statute essentially creates a will for those who dont have one.
If the decedent had no will, then the heirs are determined by New York State Law: If the decedent is survived by a spouse and no issue, then the entire estate goes to the spouse. If the decedent is survived by issue but no spouse, the issue will split the estate evenly.
If there is a spouse and no children, the spouse receives 100 percent of the estate. If there is a spouse and children, the spouse receives $50,000 plus half of the balance of the estate. The children inherit everything else.
The line of inheritance begins with direct offspring, starting with their children, then their grandchildren, followed by any great-grandchildren, and so on. The legal status of stepchildren and adopted children varies by jurisdiction.
The order of priority generally is a spouse and children, parents and brothers and sisters. However, these rules can be very complex and proof of kinship can be difficult.
