没有遗嘱，会给家人带来什么样的影响？

自动化？有这么简单吗？

很多人一直以为如果他们在没有遗嘱的情况下逝世，他们所有的遗产将会自动地转移至他们的挚爱。

而事实并非如此！

You sure need to know about "sureties"

If we die intestate, [1] our assets will be distributed according to the formulas set out in the Distribution Act 1958, and NOT according to your wishes or the needs of your family members.

[2] The court will appoint a trustee and executor to administer your estate, and this may give rise to disputes between family members or beneficiaries on who should be appointed.

[3] The court will appoint a guardian for your minor children, and the person appointed may not be your preference.

[4] The distribution process will take longer and cost more, ordinarily requiring a bond and the appointment of 2 sureties to guarantee the proper administration of the estate.

Know more about SURETIES:

• 2 sureties who must have assets within the jurisdiction equivalent to the amount of the Deceased’s estate as security for the due administration of the estate.

Due to the difficulties in finding the required sureties, the applicant for the Letter of Administration will usually be advised to file an application for dispensation of sureties to dispense with the requirement of Section 35(1) Probate and Administration Act 1959 and it usually will be granted by the Court.

With a will, there is NO requirement to provide for the sureties as a form of securities for the due administration of the estate.
There is also NO NEED for the executor to apply to the High Court for distribution order because distribution is in accordance with the terms of the will.

实际上，政府不会无端端把往生者的遗产拿去。

只是，没有遗嘱，遗产处理程序会比较麻烦，家人比较头痛咯。

整个过程，花费的金钱和时间也会比较长。

在没有遗嘱的情况下，家人需要申请的是遗产管理书（Letter of Administration，简称 L.A.），

而这个庭令需要一个叫“遗产管理人” (Administrator) 去负责申请。

有立遗嘱有什么了不起？

如果你没有立下遗嘱，那么你的遗产将根据1958年分配法令来分配。

如果没有遗嘱，死者的亲属要决定谁是遗产的管理者（administrator），要向高庭申请遗产管理状（Letter of Administrator）。在程序方面就比较复杂。
