I hope someone can advise please.
I have been contacted by an heir hunter about a relation to my great-aunt. The relation died intestate and my great-aunt is also dead. I was the executor for my great-aunt.
Firstly, I am assuming that the intestate relation must have died before my great-aunt otherwise the estate could not be passed on. Is that correct?
Secondly, assuming no other relations are involved, would the intestate estate be divided up under the terms of my great-aunt's will?
Thirdly, if the above is all correct, if my great-aunt's will said "10k to Joe Bloggs, the residue to charity", how would this apply to the intestate estate?
Thanks.
