- Intestatus decedit qui aut omnino testamentum non fecit; aut non jure fecit; aut id quod fecerat ruptum irritumve factum est; aut nemo ex eo haeres exstitit
- A person dies intestate who either made no will, or made one not according to law, or the one which he made has been broken or rendered ineffectual, or who is one whom no devisee survives.
