EXAMPLE: Ted was 34 years old when he died intestate last month. He was survived by his 28-year-old wife, Linda. In addition, Ted had a twin brother, Turner, who is single with no children, and both his parents are still alive. In most jurisdictions Linda, as the surviving spouse, would inherit Teds entire estate.
Under the rules of intestacy, the order of priority for applying to be the Administrator of the estate is the same as it is for inheritance. Therefore, the most likely people to be appointed are: The surviving spouse or civil partner. The children of the Deceased.
What Is Intestate? Intestate refers to dying without a legal will. When a person dies intestate, deciding how their assets will be distributed becomes the responsibility of a state probate court. An intestate estate can also be one in which the will presented to the court was deemed to be invalid.
In cases where a person dies without a spouse or children, intestate laws ensure that other close relatives, such as siblings, parents, or even more distant relatives, can inherit. This system ensures that the estate benefits the deceaseds family, even extending beyond the immediate nuclear family.
One of the biggest problems with intestate succession is that it can lead to family disputes. When a person passes away without leaving a will, their loved ones are often left to argue over who should get what and who should represent the estate in the probate process.
