What happens when someone dies without a will?
Husband, wife or civil partner Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on Mother or father Brothers or sisters who share both the same mother and father, or their children (nieces and nephews) Half brothers or sisters or their children (nieces and nephews of the half blood or their children). "Half"’ means they share only one parent with the deceased Grandparents Uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins or their descendants) Half uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins of the half blood or their children). "Half" means they only share one grandparent with the deceased, not bothNote that once the highest related relative has claimed, it negates claims made by lower down relatives.
So if you are, for example, a first cousin, you would only be entitled a share in the estate if there are no relatives above you in this order.
You can search the list yourself and make a claim, but the process can be expensive and time-consuming.

But bear in mind that you’re probably not the sole heir to an estate and around 95% of those listed are worth less than £1,000.
