  • Assuming no will is left..........

    and a person dies, has no current spouse/partner but does have children, and also leaving a living parent and siblings. Who would have first claim on any estate left.

    I believe it's children first.

        This link might be useful: https://www.gov.uk/inherits-someone-dies-without-will

        You'd need to check on the date of death, though because the rules have changed from time to time.

          I think the most recent significant change is that children adopted out after the person's death are now allowed to inherit.

                I don't understand. A child will inherit at the death of a parent. Doesn't matter what happens to the child AFTER that, adopted or not, was still entitled to inherit at death. You cannot predict the future.
