Dated 7th September 1983
The estate of an intestate is charged with a fixed sum (the statutory legacy) in favour of the surviving spouse. Article 2 of the Intestate Succession (Interest and Capitalisation) Order 1977 fixes the rate of interest on the statutory legacy until it is paid or appropriated at 7%. Article 2 of this Order alters that rate to 6%.
Section 46(1)(i) was amended, in respect of deaths occurring after 1952, by section 1 of the Intestates' Estates Act 1952 (c. 64), in respect of deaths occurring before 1953 and deaths occurring after 1952, by section 28(1) of the Administration of Justice Act 1977 (c. 38), and in respect of deaths occurring after 1966, by section 1(2)(a) of the Family Provision Act 1966 (c. 35).
