After his untimely death, most of his English possessions were placed under royal guardianship until his older son Ralph came of age. His widow Joan received the family estates in Lincolnshire as Wittum . Although Daubeney is considered Baron Daubeney because of his summons to parliaments, his heirs were no longer summoned to parliaments through writ of summons.
