Video Summary
What happens when parents pass away without a Will? Well, whenever someone passes away without a Will, the Florida statutes designate who is to receive the assets or who the beneficiaries are. Since you’re using parents, I assume that they are married, and so you would record death certificates for both of those. Then you would look at the last parent who passed away and determine who the children are of that decedent, and based upon that, they’re the ones who would inherit his estate, his or her estate under the Florida statutes and the event that the decedent had no children, then the beneficiaries are his parents. If his parents had predeceased them, then it goes to his siblings and their siblings children. If any of them have predeceased them, this is, if you have any questions about it, give me a call at (727) 847-2288.
