What happens if I don’t have an executor?

If you don’t have a will when you pass away, you’re said to have died ‘intestate’. In this scenario, a court-appointed administrator will follow the law to determine who shares in the estate. The administrator will ensure all debts are cleared and tax is finalised before distributing estate assets between beneficiaries.
