One of the most searched questions online is what happens to property if someone dies without a will.

In the UK, property forms part of your estate and will be distributed according to intestacy rules if there is no valid will.

This means the law determines who inherits your home.

The outcome can depend on factors such as:

• Whether you are married
• Whether you have children
• Whether the property is owned jointly
• Whether other relatives are still living

Many people are surprised to discover that unmarried partners are not automatically entitled to inherit under intestacy rules.

This can create unexpected difficulties for families.

For homeowners across Portsmouth, Gosport and Fareham, having a clear will in place can help ensure your property passes to the people you intend.

It also helps avoid delays and uncertainty during the estate administration process.
