The biggest downside of intestate succession is that your loved ones could be in for a long and expensive battle with the legal system to prove what they think you would have wanted.
When a person dies without a will, the provincial government gets to decide who gets the money in your bank account. Provincial governments will often prioritize immediate family members or blood relatives of the deceased person, which can leave common-law partners with nothing.
If only one parent is alive, then that parent inherits 100% of the estate. If the deceaseds parents are both dead, then look to the next class. If there are surviving siblings or nieces or nephews, then the estate is distributed to those people per stirpes. * If not, then move to the next class, and so on.
If a person dies, has no children, no surviving spouse or adult interdependent partner, no surviving parents, and no siblings, half of the estate goes to the paternal grandparents or their descendants (the intestates aunts and uncles), and half of the estate goes to the maternal grandparents or their descendants.
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.

When this happens, Ontarios Succession Law Reform Act sets out how the estate is distributed. In general, when a person dies without a will, the people who can inherit their estate include their spouse and closest next-of-kin. A common law spouse does not inherit under the Succession Law Reform Act.
The only downside is that intestate succession laws determine the percentage share of the estate to which each heir is entitled, so if a decedent wanted to leave more of their property to a child who is financially struggling, they wont have that option, as intestate succession would provide each of their children
Intestate shares are statutorily determined and do not consider special circumstances, such as an heir who is receiving income-based financial aid and may be disqualified from further benefits due to an estate disbursement. This could be avoided by placing money and property in a trust for that individuals benefit.
Essentially dying without a will means you have no say over how your assets are distributed, and how this is done may not reflect your wishes. It can also result in increased costs and the time it will take to divide your assets, and dying intestate can also have docHub impact on loved ones.
