The Rules of Intestacy: Order of priority

Today sees an increase in the Statutory Legacy fixed sum amount from £270,000 to £322,000 which has an impact on intestacy cases.

The Statutory Legacy is relevant when an individual dies intestate leaving behind a surviving spouse or civil partner and any children.

To reflect these changes, we’ve created this slider document on the order of priority in intestacy cases, incorporating the enhanced fixed sum amount.

Established in 1979, Anglia Research has traced thousands of missing heirs in the UK and around the world. Founder Peter Turvey is an active member of the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives (AGRA), which is the only provider of genealogical accreditation in England and Wales and where knowledge and professionalism are required and tested.
