As many of you would already know, a Will is a legal declaration describing a person’s wishes about distribution of his/her wealth after the person’s death.

While many people postpone this task until they reach old age, we should emphasize that it is not a very wise decision. The world around us is pretty terrifying and we can never predict how long we shall live. Should something unfortunate happen to us, dying without a Will would lead to fights among your family members for a share of property. Even worse, minors and elderly family members may get casted out leaving them weak and vulnerable.

If you have not yet thought about the possible consequences of dying without creating Will, then here’s something to push you. Take a look at things that could happen if you die intestate (meaning without a Will or specific instructions).

1. Causes confusion about how your wealth should be distributed
2. Family members may fight to get a share of your property
3. Education and general well being of minors will be affected unless they are placed under a guardian (must be designated in the Will) who will safeguard their interests
4. Elderly may be thrown out after their property share is snatched from them
5. Nobody will have any clue about how your debts and liabilities should be cleared

How Is An Intestate Person’s Wealth Distributed?

Our law has some specific set of rules called Intestacy Laws which step in if a person dies intestate. In the event that a person dies without leaving behind a Will, the law will distribute the wealth among your surviving family members the way your religion would have wanted it.

This means that a part of your wealth could go to that close relative of yours whom you totally despise. But since that relative is close to you relationship wise, nobody will have a say in it.

Intestacy laws have been known to create unpleasant family disputes and such laws rarely put aside anything for charity.
