    The document outlines the inheritance rules for an estate worth over £250,000 depending on whether the deceased had a spouse or children. If there is a spouse, they would receive £250,000 and a life interest in half the remainder, while any children would receive the rest. If no spouse or children, the estate is shared between living parents. If no parents, it is shared between brothers, sisters or grandparents, and if none, aunts/uncles or the Crown.
