The average man on the street without a legal background has little or no knowledge about what to do or how to proceed when a loved one passes away. Some people assume that things will happen automatically through some government scheme, which is a common misconception. This book explains what happens when a person passes away, either having written a Will or intestate without a Will, and sets out clearly the procedure to follow and the stages involved before assets and property can be properly dealt with, and why it is important to set up a Will and the disadvantages if you do not have one.

The book contains interesting case studies of real-life situations to illustrate the different scenarios when a person passes away with and without a Will.
