If someone dies intestate in England and Wales there is a complex matrix of who gets the estate, designed to satisfy the probable wishes of the deceased. Basically, if you are married your spouse gets the first big chunk with the rest going to your children if you have any. If you are not married it will be divided equally among your children, if you have no children, then your parents, if no parents, your siblings. The list goes on until you have run out of potential relatives. If no relatives can be traced whatsoever then the estate will pass to the Crown.
