Mrs X died intestate (without a will).
She was the mother of one child and her husband survived her. She and her husband owned a rental property, their home and various other assets. What happens to her share of all this? It’s likely the child will get a big chunk of the estate, whether this was what Mrs X wanted or not. We strongly recommend you make a will so your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Remember too, if you remarry you will need to make a new will. A will is not a do-it-yourself job. To get it right, get your solicitor involved.
