Terms Used In Louisiana Civil Code 1096

  • Intestate: Dying without leaving a will.

A succession is called intestate when the deceased has left no will, or when his will has been revoked or annulled as irregular.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 ab intestato.
