What happens if someone dies without a will in the United States?
When someone dies without a valid will, state intestacy laws decide who inherits and in what order. The process and titles vary by state. Probate courts handle many estates even when a will exists. USA.gov and your state court publish plain-language overviews. This page does not decide any case.
