Who inherits in an intestate estate in South Africa?
It depends. If the deceased had a spouse (or if he was in a polygamous marriage) but if he had no descendants, the spouse (or spouses) will inherit the estate. If there are only descendants but no spouses, then it will be they who inherit the estate. In case there are both spouse(s) and descendants, the spouse will receive R125 000 and the balance will go to the children. Also, if there are neither descendants nor spouses, the parents (or one parent and the other descendants of that parent) will split the estate equally.

When parent dies without will can the adult children take possession of the deceased parent's property and assets in Florida?
That depends on whether your parent was married at the time of death and if yes, whether the surviving spouse is also your parent. If the surviving spouse is not also your parent then the estate will be shared 50/50 with the surviving spouse getting half and the surviving children by a first wife sharing the other half. If the surviving spouse is also your parent then the surviving spouse gets 100%. If there is no surviving spouse the children get 100%.It is likely the estate will need to be probated. You should seek advice from an attorney who specializes in probate matters and who can provide up to date information.https://www.thebalance.com/dying-without-a-will-in-florida-3504952
