Marriage & Will

joe_joe · 2014-03-18 12:34:52

We are non- national married couples living in Ireland with kids. One of our friend was telling that in Ireland unless there is a registered will, the spouse won't have any right to any money/assets owned by other spouse if he/she dies. The 'State' owns it.. is it right?

Your friend is talking rubbish. The State only gets an estate if there are no persons alive related to the person.

It's always a good idea to make a will.
