The eldest child normally takes the role. Your father dies intestate so after debts are paid any remaining should be distributed equally among the children xxx

The law is complicated on this. If your grandparents are still alive they would be next of kin. Then you have any brothers and sisters of the Mum and Dad. Then you have the 8 children who can claim as dependents. Best advice is to see a Solicitor to try and make sure no greedy relatives get their hands on the dosh.

That is for a court to decide. The father may have something in his will. Oh and by the way it doesnt matter how many kids there are, next of kin is next of kin.

Legally, all are next of kin equally and split any remaining balance of estate equally, unless there was an estate guardian appointed before death. If not, unfortunately, everyone must work together to make decisions together, which in big families can get ugly unless everyone plays nice. Fighting isn't worth it. You can't take it with you, either.

if one of the children is over 18 then they are normally the next of kin...if not, its usually a close member if family like the grandparents or an auntie or uncle. if there is no family, then i think it the government unfortunately.

The eldest one will be able to take the responsibility if he/she is old enough. There are plenty of organisations that help people under those circumstances.

The oldest child...........but you will probably have some wait as this will have to go to probate and can take years before anyone can claim anything as your parents did'nt make a will.

You all are - any goods or funds would be split 8 ways (after death duties if applicable)

Me. No, seriously, the eldest. But split it fairly would be the decent thing.
