If you do not want that person's spouse/partner/children/closest relation to inherit .............. change your will ASAP. The final resort if there are no close relations is for an attempt to be made to find more distant ones (think Heir Hunters), and if all else fails .......... the government gets whatever you have left.

Better still, when you write your will, name another beneficiary "in the event that xxxxx predeceases me".

My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Change your will as soon as the named beneficiary has died?

If the will owner dies without knowledge of the beneficiary death then the inheritance goes to that persons children.

We have that exact problem after our daughter passed away. We were advised to rewrite everything to avoid delays. Although she had no husband or children the concern is an ex boyfriend may try to complicate things.

What happens with your will if the person you left everything to has predeceased you? How would your possessions end up? Including your property.
