Intestacy (EDM46)

Intestacy

EDM number 46 in 2000-01, proposed by Helen Southworth on 06/12/2000.

That this House believes that the rules relating to intestacy are in urgent need of updating; notes that under the rules a spouse will only receive the first Ãº125,000 absolutely of the deceased's estate where there are children of the marriage; further notes that this figure has not changed for several years, despite a large increase in the value of domestic property; is concerned that many widows and widowers may lose their homes because their value is greater than the Ãº125,000 threshold; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to consider raising this threshold to Ãº200,000, as recommended by the Law Society.

This motion has been signed by a total of 78 MPs.
