Numbers 27:11 And if his father has no brethren, then you shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
In the State of Florida, if you pass away without a will, then the court will look to Florida inheritance law for guidance in distributing your assets in the following order: 1. Spouse, 2. Children, or Grandchildren 3. Parents 4. Siblings 5. Children of Deceased Siblings. In other words, if you die in Florida without a will, and you’re married, your spouse will get all of your estate assets, even if you have children.
However, if you have children from a previous relationship, your spouse will only inherit half of your estate, and your children will inherit the other half. As a last resort, if the Florida courts cannot find any distant or close relatives, your estate will then pass to the State of Florida, which of course the state will have no problem in taking, which then means that the government will get everything. It’s unfortunate, but possible. You could read the entire document here:
The 2025 Florida Statutes Title XLII ESTATES AND TRUSTS Chapter 732. In closing, we must remember that this world is not our home, for we are just pilgrims passing through for a brief moment, heading to a better and eternal world, and as such, if it ever comes to a fight over real estate, it is not worth the hassle, to lose sleep, family relations, and your salvation for that which is perishable.
Numbers 27:10 And if he has no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
