Intestate Succession | Estates Without A Will
In situations where the decedent has not written a will, the estate is distributed following the laws of Intestate Succession. Specific sections of California’s Probate Code detail the way these estates are handled. The court will determine who inherits the assets. The order of distribution is based upon certain considerations, including marital status and the decedent’s living relatives.
