death without a will (Law)
Intestacy
Intestacy is the condition of the
estate of a person who dies owning property whose value is 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".
