In a situation where a person dies without a will, the Succession Law Reform Act acts as a code for the distribution of the inheritance. Accordingly, the first person to be considered next of kin is the legally married spouse of the deceased.87 If the only next of kin is the spouse then the spouse inherits everything. If there are other next of kin, the spouse is entitled to the “preferential share”, which is the first $200,000 of the value of the estate. If the value to be inherited is less than the preferential share ($200,000), the spouse of the deceased inherits everything, even if there are other next of kin. 88 The division of what remains above the preferential share takes place as follows. If there is one child, the child and the spouse divide equally the remainder of the inheritance.89 Where there is more than one child, the spouse gets one third of the remainder of the inheritance, over and above the preferential share, and the children divide the rest between them. In the event of a partial intestacy, if the spouse inherits something, this will be taken into account for the calculation of the preferential share
