For some reason there has been considerable speculation regarding this issue. The simple answer is yes. There is no obvious reason why anyone other than Charles should become King when Queen Elizabeth II leaves the throne. Charles himself has expressed no wish to refuse the Monarchy, and it seems that the whole question is a matter of wishful thinking on behalf of those who find Charles' somewhat quirky and whimsical personality unseemly for a King of England.

An estate can refer to all the property a person owns both real and personal. However, the term is more commonly used to refer to all the property that a person owns at death, both real and personal.

The settlement would pass to that person specified as the beneficiary of the settlement in the Will by the testator. If the settlement was not specifically mentioned it would pass to the heirs under the residuary clause of the Will. The residuary clause devises any property that was not specifically devised in the Will. If there is no residuary clause in the Will then that settlement would pass according to the laws of intestacy in the jurisdiction.

Probate is typically not needed for assets held in a living trust because they pass directly to the beneficiaries named in the trust. However, any assets that were not properly placed in the trust before your father's death may still need to go through probate. It's important to review the trust document and consult with an attorney to ensure all assets are properly accounted for.

A life estate gives the spouse the right to possess and use the property during their lifetime.

How did you get from Queen Anne House of Stuart to George I House of Hanover?

On the death of Queen Anne, King George [I] inherited the English throne on what might be considered a technicality.
