If a person dies without having made a Will, that person is said to have died intestate and that person’s property is distributed according to a legislative formula, regardless of what the property owner’s wishes might be.
In cases of intestacy, the next of kin are required to take the appropriate action for the estate to be administered, which in most cases will require an application to the Supreme Court for Letters of Administration.
