As of today, should you die without leaving a will, I understand that the complex scenario where half uncles got three quarters of the tax exempt portion of the first 10% that hasn't been left to a second cousin as long as you don't have a sister older than 42 has all been swep' away.
Now, if you have a spouse or "civil partner" then they get the lot, end of.
As in my case I always intended that should happen, and vice versa, and still haven't got around to making a will, the pressure is somewhat off.
I think.
