Wills FAQs

What happens if you die without a will?
If you do not make a will, state laws will determine who gets your property. This process is called "intestate succession." In most states, your property will first be divided among your spouse and children. If you are not married and have no children, then your property will be distributed to your next of kin. If the courts cannot find your next of kin, then the property goes to the state.
