  • Intestacy

    Hi all,

    Suppose Mr Smith's will leaves everything to his wife and does not mention his two children but then he is predeceased by his wife. I think intestacy means there is no will but in this case there is a will but there are no surviving beneficiaries named in the will - so would this be a case of intestacy?

    Thanks...

    without having made a valid will or other binding declaration. Alternatively this may also apply where a will or declaration has been made, but only applies to part of the estate; the remaining estate forms the "intestate estate"

      If a beneficiary predeceases the testator the gift lapses into residue.
      If a gift of residue lapses, the property devolves as it would on intestacy,
      No spouse or civil partner... children inherit.
