again it depends on the state, region, country.
But regardless of wif/hub/mis/other if you DONT leave a will usually the government takes it all, if that is what you really want for your family, then have at it.
Even if you don't leave a will, some people ASSUME that they will get stuff, of course, people come out of the woodwork and contest things and dying intestate is total balls for your loved ones.
Even if you fall out, you can change it.
I have a will, and after every argument, I go change it LOL, my main things I want done, as far as my possessions, savings, and also a portion for my funeral. I DO NOT want my family OH guessing what I want.
I might wanna leave everything to me ex, not my daughter, or leave all the money for a charity, but car for the DD, sometimes, money is NOT a blessing.
But seriously make a will, you can always change it later
