Will or rather lack of

[leavesrfalling]

My DF (86) is divorced from his wife (my Step mother). I have LPA for him. He has always maintained that he has done a will. He has now moved into a care home with dementia and it turns out that he has not done a will (we cannot find one in his flat, and his ex-wife, does not think he has done one - he has always been prone to lying). I very much doubt he will have anything of value left by the time he dies what with the cost of the care home, but is there anyway we can get a will done now? or is it too late?

Thanks. He does not have the capacity now unfortunately.

Hello
Perhaps look into the intestacy rules to see what the outcome could be

My mother lied about having made a will. She died suddenly long before she intended to and I spent a week phoning solicitors and searching her house for it. Once I realised she had lied it was easier, I got letters of administration and distributed her will according to the rules.
