lawful heir

Read a random definition: Williams Act

A quick definition of lawful heir:

A lawful heir is someone who is entitled to receive property from someone who has died without leaving a will. This person can be a direct descendant or a close relative of the deceased. In some cases, a person can inherit property even if there is a will. The term "heir" is often used to refer to someone who inherits a lot of money or wealth. However, it simply means someone who is entitled to receive property from a deceased person.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A person who is entitled to receive the property of a deceased person according to the laws of intestacy. This can include real or personal property, and can be inherited through a will or by intestate succession.

Examples:

  • John's father passed away without a will, so John is his lawful heir and will inherit his father's property.
  • Susan's grandmother left her a large sum of money in her will, making Susan a lawful heir to her grandmother's estate.

These examples illustrate how a person can become a lawful heir through either intestate succession or through a will. In both cases, the person is entitled to inherit property from the deceased person.
