this is purely random just wondering.

Person A dies with a will, the will says not to go to person B but all goes to person C. Now person C dies with no heirs and no will. The only surviving relative is the child of person B?

Is the child of person B able to inherit?

I thought the state had a tendency to ponce the dosh where there is no will / wife / legal partner.

Probably wrong though.

lots of complicated rules

also depends if C was related to B?

looks like the crown to me though intestate and no relatives
