LEGAL INHERITORS IN THE ABSENCE OF A WILL FOR A COUPLE WITHOUT CHILDREN

Relationship with the deceased

In the absence of a will, there is only one situation where your spouse inherits all of your property: if there are no parents, no siblings and no nephews and nieces in the picture (either they have predeceased you, or they have never existed).

If you would like to leave your inheritance to your spouse only, then a will is necessary.
