The royal family

Don't let your money go to the Royal Family

If you die without a will and there are no surviving relatives who can inherit under the rules of intestacy, the estate passes to the Crown. This is known as bona vacantia. The Treasury Solicitor is then responsible for dealing with the estate. The Crown can make grants from the estate but does not have to agree to them.

So effectively the Royal Family have control over how your money is spent. Please make a will, especially if you have no surviving relatives who can inherit. Leave it all to a charity if you want but not the Royal Family.

"The crown" pass all money to the government, and take back an allowance, so it effectively goes to the treasury - I believe

Timeforachangeisitnot · 25/01/2023 17:55

😂😂😂FFS it is administered by the appropriate government legal dept - it differs by country, but it won’t be ‘The Royal Family’ who makes the decisions, nor do they benefit
They may be guilty of many things, but stealing dead peoples estates is not one.

Maybe you should do a bit of reading to find out WHO and WHAT the Crown Estate does.
The money doesn’t go int King Charles’s back pocket you know. 😂

If I die with no surviving relatives I don’t really care where it goes, tbh.

NotEnoughMud · 25/01/2023 17:58

Get your facts straight. Your cash doesn't go into the King's pocket

Shampern · 25/01/2023 17:59

If that's the case can I nominate Louis?

Leave it all to a charity if you want but not the Royal Family. I'll do whatever I want thank you very much.

Another very odd, untrue post by the OP. So many batshit and inaccurate comments I'm starting to wonder if they're a royalist plant out to make republicans look barmy. It's working Grin

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 25/01/2023 18:10

It all goes to the corgis.

Has anyone seen Antelope Valley recently?

Or Bradford Girl?

Or Babs Anderson?

Asking for a friend.

I think you’ve confused The Crown trust estate with The Crown Netflix show.

Theunamedcat · 25/01/2023 18:17

Seriously? Check your facts first

Are you one of those idiots who think if they removed the monarchy tomorrow they would end up on a council estate 🤣

Or that if money weren't spent on the Coronation it would be used to fund the NHS.

I suspect some antelopes or a Ms Anderson from Bradford might have had another name change. 😉

LakeTiticaca · 25/01/2023 18:38

@IcedPurple the NHS doesn't need yet more money. It needs to be managed properly

upinaballoon · 25/01/2023 19:54

I've made a will but now you've put the thought in my head I think I'll go and make a new one and leave a big fraction to Queen Camilla.

This one definitely has Antelope hoofprints over it; taking what might be called an issue that's only tangentially related to the RF and then getting outraged about it.

Was it 1 billion pounds Charles gave to the treasury from his wind farm profits? Something like that. And don't be silly. The government gets money from people dying intestate

HereComesMaleficent · 25/01/2023 21:59

I'm going to leave my entire estate to Prince Louis. Because I can...👍🏻

This way I know 100% it's going to them, just incase the government get their hands on it.

LadyVictoriaSponge · 25/01/2023 22:03

I’m going to leave my estate to Sophie, I’m fed up of seeing her in that little boring tiara, she can spend her unexpected windfall from me on some serious bling.

User478 · 25/01/2023 22:09

There's a whole royal department for destroying wills so that Windsor gets new double glazing. When Charlotte turns 16 it'll be her work experience project.

smilesy · 25/01/2023 23:02

OP you have obviously never seen a programme called Heir Hunters. Where the treasury releases details of bona vacantia estates and professional companies are allowed to trace the deceased’s family and distribute the estate (for a fee of course). Not sure they would do this if the Royal Family stood to inherit instead 🤔😬. I can’t believe I’m actually responding to this ridiculous thread 😂😂

BMW6 · 25/01/2023 23:16

What do people like the OP think will happen when they start threads based on outright utter SHITE?

Do they presume no-one would know differently or check the facts claimed?

Isn't this just totally fucking STUPID or is it me?

I am utterly bemused
