A quick definition of natural heir:

A natural heir is someone who is related to a person who has died and is entitled to receive their property. This can happen if the person who died did not leave a will. A natural heir can be a child, parent, sibling, or other close relative. It is different from an adopted heir or someone who is named in a will.

A more thorough explanation:

A natural heir is a person who is related to a deceased person by blood and is entitled to receive the deceased person's property according to the laws of intestacy. This means that if someone dies without a will, their property will be distributed to their natural heirs based on their relationship to the deceased.

For example, if someone dies without a will and they have a spouse and children, their property will be divided among their spouse and children as natural heirs. If they have no spouse or children, their property will be distributed to their parents, siblings, or other relatives as natural heirs.

It's important to note that a natural heir is different from an heir by adoption or a statutory heir, such as a person's spouse. Natural heirs are determined by blood relationship, while other types of heirs are determined by legal status or adoption.
