Inheritance of property - Christian
Dear Sir/Madam,
My father and step-mother have not created a will. They don't have any children on their own. I am the son from my father's first marriage, and my father remarried after my mother's death. My step-mother does not have any children, but has bothers and sisters.
The main assets are:-
1) House 1- purchased by my father before marrying my step-mother
2) House 2 - purchased after my father's second marriage, jointly owned by my father and step-mother
3) Bank account 1 - in the name of my father, with my step-mother as nominated beneficiary
4) Bank account 2 - jointly owned in the name of my father and step-mother
I have the following two related queries:-
1) In the event my father dies without a will, how will the assets be distributed?
2) In the event my father dies first and then my step-mother dies without a will, who will inherit the assets?

Thanks for the quick response. Can you please also respond to the second part of the query, as to what happens to the assets in the event my father dies first and my step-mother dies after that without leaving a will?
