* Intestacy, Ate, Laws Of *

INTESTACY, ATE, LAWS OF - This term refers to a person who dies without leaving a will, or can also be used to refer to a person who dies without leaving a valid will. Also, in specifying who can witness a living will, most states exclude people who might inherit from someone either by a will or, if there is no will, by intestacy. Each state has an intestacy law which specifies who is to inherit property in the absence of a will.
