What Happens If You Die Without a Will?

If you pass away without a valid Will, your estate is distributed according to your personal succession law, not your personal wishes.

• Assets are split by fixed legal shares among legal heirs.
• Your specific intentions (a friend, a charity, an unequal split) are ignored.
• Families face longer delays, paperwork and sometimes disputes.
• Minor children's guardianship may be decided by a court.

A simple Will avoids all of this and puts you back in control of your own legacy.
