nephews or crown?
our aunt died a couple of years ago but didnt leave a will so everything went to her husband. He has now died but didn't have any living relatives except us, his nephews. Does it all now come back to me and my brother because our mother (deceased) was my aunts only relative ie sister or does it go to the Crown because we weren't actually blood related to my uncle?

I'm not so sure about that Dzug. It surely works on blood relationships.
So, for example, I know that uncles or aunts who are related to a deceased only by marriage are not entitled to share in the estate on intestacy (if they were the only living relatives).
By the same token, I would reckon that nephews and nieces with no blood link would not be entitled.

By reading the written version of the intestacy rules on the website of Her Majesty's Courts Service:

and then checking with the flow chart HMCS provides:

I'm confident that The National Debt will now be a tiny bit smaller. (i.e. your uncle's estate goes to the Crown).

Not sure how to answer this question, but if they are blood relatives of his, and have a good solicitor then you should have a claim. Hope the site listed below will help you, and other victims of intestacy.
