My friend says she has decided not to write a will. She believes
her children will be given their share based upon the rules relating
to intestacy and her son will have the same share as everyone else.
Is that right?
It will be necessary to consider the law in your friend's area.
It may be that the law allows someone who comes within the law's
definition of dependant to apply to court for more of the estate
than would be given under the rules relating to intestacy.
If your friend writes a will she may be able to save her other children
from the stress and cost of litigation.
