Girlfriend rights

[tigger212]

My son's on/off girlfriend is claiming she is entitled to inherit from his estate, he didn't leave a will, what rights does she have?

If she is financially dependant on him then she may be able to bring a claim under the Inheritance, Provisionn for Family and Dependants Act, but as a general rule the answer to her suggestion is No.

I offer my condolences to you. I'm sure you really need her right now.   When my Dad died, he did not leave a will. Everything went to my Mum. It is called "In Testate".  It should therefore go to next of kin.

Standard intestacy laws apply as there was no will - Family Dependats Act would probably not come into effect unless there were children involved - the estate would revert back to next of kin - mother and/or father.
My condolonces.
