TSEM7808 | Deceased persons: intestacy: general - distribution of estate

Legal rules provide for how the estate (or part of the estate) of a person dying intestate is to be distributed.

The rules in England and Wales (see TSEM7822) differ from those in Scotland (see TSEM7842) and from those in Northern Ireland (see TSEM7862).

Interal users should refer any problems in dealing with intestacy cases to Trusts technical for advice. See TSEM11100.
