What is a statutory legacy?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Under the Intestacy Rules, the statutory legacy is a fixed sum that the intestate’s surviving spouse or civil partner is entitled to, providing there is enough money in the estate and the intestate leaves behind no close family members such as children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the Intestacy Rules? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Intestacy Rules are the rules that govern how your estate will be distributed if you die without having made a will. However, the rules may not distribute your estate as you hope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rules of intestacy depend on your family tree, whether you are married or in a civil partnership, and whether you have any surviving family members at the time of your death. See our info-gram below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
