Cohabitant couples have, unlike married couples, no right to inherit. This is regardless of them having any children or not. Cohabitant couples therefore should consider writing a will. If a cohabitant partner dies, the surviving partner, but not the estate, is entitled to demand that a housing split is made (for married couples this is different since a housing split should aways be made in those circumstances). If a housing split is made and to the extent the cohabitant property, after deduction of debt, is sufficient, the surviving cohabitant is entitled to two price base amounts (Sw. prisbasbelopp). If the deceased had chldren, they will inherit their parent as usual.
