Guess it depends on whether you have anyone else other than your husband you wish to bequeath to. I imagine, without a will, everything will go to him regardless as the next of kin. If you want to give things/ money to others, maybe you could leave him a note with your wishes. I guess the major issue is whether anyone is likely to come forward to try and claim- sorry- I don't know your family but it has happened in mine- even with there being a will! In which case- it might be advisable to avoid any unpleasantness. People change when money is involved sadly. Maybe do a few Google searches about leaving no will in your area. I expect the rules are slightly different everywhere- although I imagine in most places, the spouse inherits all (and children if there are any.)
