Intestacy rules change at last
For many years the intestacy rules that dictate how much a spouse may receive following the other's death have stood at £125,000. This is way below the value of the average house, and so those people who had not made a will were increasingly getting into problems when one spouse died.
After much lobbying, the government has decided that this limit should be increased to £250,000 where there are children and £450,000 in all other cases. The government intends to change to these figures on 1st February 2009.
