Complicates process when the individual dies without a will
Explanation:
Complications arise especially when the disbursement favours those relatives that were closely related to the decedent. Even so, when the decedent leaves behind a spouse but no surviving children or their descendants, usually the spouse will receive the entire estate. There may also be concerns over the fact that the spouse will also receive the entire estate if the decedent and spouse had children together who are still alive based on the assumption that the surviving spouse will use the assets to care for the children which may not end up being the case. Another issue is the provision that allows for non-biological relatives if alive such past spouses to receive a distribution.
