Can anyone answer my basic pension question?

[bottleofredplease]

So...
My DM and DF have both remarried. I am assuming that if they die everything goes to their spouses if no will written. So potentially if no will is written, nothing left to my siblings and I and all to their spouses and ultimately their spouses children?

Your title asks about pension, but your post is about wills.

Why don't either of them have a will?

Sorry for the mix up! Wills I meant, daft I am sorry.

Why don't either of them have a will? Well I think they probably do, but even in that case the assets would be in their homes and their partners would still live there so I assume in this sort of scenario this goes to the spouse and when they die the money from the house houses to her children, sorry if I'm not making sense

Without a will any estate will go to their spouse.

If the spouse dies all of their estate will go to closest living relatives split equally (again if no will).

Creating a will wouldn't necessarily see you inherit.

FIL remarried to MIL decades ago but his will clearly outlined MIL to inherit the entire estate with no provision for any of his children. DH was hurt to realise there wasn't even a token amount from his dad as inheritance but appreciated protecting his mother's ability to keep her home and be able to live with a decent quality of life was more important. His step-siblings weren't quite so kind and have thrown all sorts of accusations around. Given that she helped raise them and their children and contributed equally to the estate over 50 years they aren't really painting themselves in a light that favours generosity from her will!
