Ok, so who gets my stuff if I don't have a Will?

Most people don't have a Will because they put it off, they're not "old enough" or they simply haven't considered it. Check out what happens when you don't have a Will.

If the person who died has...

A spouse (husband or wife) and no children, the SPOUSE inherits everything.

Children* but no spouse, CHILDREN inherit everything.

Spouse and children*, the SPOUSE inherits the first $50,000 plus half of the balance. The CHILDREN* inherit everything else.

Parents but no spouse and no children*, the PARENTS inherit everything.

Siblings (brothers or sisters) but no spouse, children*, or parents, the SIBLINGS inherit everything*

*If a child dies before the Decedent and had children of their own, then the Decedent would have grandchildren. Those GRANDCHILDREN would step into the Decedent's child's place and inherit in place of the child.
