"Why do I need to have a will anyway?”
Mark Says "Dying without a Will (Intestate) means that your estate will pass in accordance with the Administration of Estates Act 1925 – and that covers your property, your personal possessions and savings. Spouses and children do not automatically receive everything in the deceased’s estate. There is a strict pecking order under the Act for deciding who gets what. Spouses get a rough treatment by the intestacy rules.”
