Heir Succession Law

Heir succession law, part of inheritance law, governs how a deceased person's assets are distributed. When someone passes away without a will, the law defines who inherits their property, typically prioritizing family members like spouses, children, and sometimes parents or siblings. This process ensures that assets go to the next of kin according to predetermined rules rather than personal wishes. If there is a will, it generally takes precedence, guiding the distribution based on the deceased's intentions. The law aims to provide a fair and orderly method for transferring wealth after death.
