Sorry, I wasn't exactly right.

Children
Children of the intestate person will inherit if there is no surviving married or civil partner. If there is a surviving partner, they will inherit only if the estate is worth more than a certain amount.
Children - if there is no surviving married or civil partner
If there is no surviving partner, the children of a person who has died without leaving a will inherit the whole estate. This applies however much the estate is worth. If there are two or more children, the estate will be divided equally between them.
Children - if there is a surviving partner
If there is a surviving partner, a child only inherits from the estate if the estate is valued at over £250,000. If there are two or more children, the children will inherit in equal shares:
•one half of the value of the estate above £250,000 and
•the other half of the value of the estate above £250,000 when the surviving partner dies.
All the children of the parent who has died intestate inherit equally from the estate. This also applies where a parent has children from different relationships.
