ABSTRACT
Intestacy occurs where a person dies without effectively disposing of his property by will. Intestacy may be total or partial.
Where a person dies intestate, his estate must be administered and distributed by his personal representative (pr) in accordance with the provisions of the AEA 1925 as amended by later Acts such as the Intestates’ Estate Act 1952, the Family Provision Act 1966 and the Family Law Reform Acts 1969 and 1987.
