Intestacy is a legal term referring to the condition of an individual's estate when the person dies without leaving a valid will or other binding legal testament. Under these circumstances, the deceased person's assets and properties are distributed according to the laws of intestacy specified by the state or country of residence.

Intestacy
Intestacy is the condition of the estate of a person who dies owning property greater than the sum of their enforceable debts and funeral expenses without having made a valid will or other binding declaration. Alternatively this may also apply where a will or declaration has been made, but only applies to part of the estate, the remaining estate forms the "Intestate Estate." Intestacy law, also referred to as "the law of descent and distribution" or "intestate succession statutes", refers to the body of law that determines who is entitled to the property from the estate under the rules of inheritance.
