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.
If you have no spouse and any of your children are alive, they are the only heirs to your estate. However, if your spouse is alive, thats a different story. If you have children who are minors, your spouse will inherit half of the intestate property and your children will inherit the other half.
Fortunately, there are ways to structure your estate to avoid probate in Maryland. Create a Revocable Living Trust. Utilize Joint Ownership with Right of Survivorship. Designate Beneficiaries on Accounts and Policies. Gift Assets Before Death. Establish a Small Estate. Use Marylands Simplified Probate Options.
Without a valid will, the personal representative must distribute the property according to Maryland intestacy law. While the personal representative is not automatically entitled to any portion of the decedents property, they are entitled to reasonable compensation.
