An Administrator’s Deed is a legal document used to transfer property of an individual who died intestate, meaning without a will. The deed is executed by an estate administrator appointed by the court.
An heir is an individual legally entitled to inherit some or all of the estate of another person who has died, either by the terms of a will or by the rules of inheritance if no valid will exists.
The term 'intestate' describes the condition of a person who dies without having made a valid will. In such scenarios, the deceased's estate is distributed according to state laws rather than the deceased's wishes.
'Per Stirpes' is a legal method of distributing an estate where the descendants of a deceased legatee inherit their ancestor's share.
