A quick definition of heir general:

An heir is someone who gets property from someone who has died. If the person who died didn't make a will, the heir is decided by the law. If the person did make a will, the heir is the person named in the will. Sometimes, people use the word "heir" to mean someone who will get a lot of money or property in the future.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A person who is entitled to receive the property of a deceased person according to the laws of intestacy (when there is no will). This person is also known as a legal heir, heir at law, lawful heir, heir general, or legitimate heir.

Examples: If someone dies without a will, their property will be distributed to their heirs according to the laws of intestacy. For example, if a person dies without a will and is survived by their spouse and children, their property will be divided among their spouse and children. The spouse will receive a portion of the property, and the remaining property will be divided equally among the children.

Explanation: The term "heir general" refers to a person who inherits property according to the laws of intestacy. This means that if a person dies without a will, their property will be distributed to their heirs according to the laws of the state where they lived. The examples illustrate how the property of a deceased person is distributed among their heirs according to the laws of intestacy.
