Black's Law Dictionary

Henry Campbell Black, M.A. · 1910

A succession is called "intestate" when the deceased has left no will, or when his will has been revoked or annulled as irregular. Therefore the heirs to whom a succession has fallen by the effects of law only are called "heirs ob intestato." Civ. Code In. art. 1096.
