This Act prescribes rules of succession when a person dies without making a valid will or without otherwise disposing of his or her real and personal property of which that person has the right to dispose at the time of his death (“intestate succession”). The rules concern succession both in the case of heirs and without heirs of the intestate. In the latter case, the succession to any real property of the intestate shall be determined jointly by the local authority where the property is located and the Governor, or his or her authorized representative.
