parentelic method

Read a random definition: conversionary act

A quick definition of parentelic method:

The parentelic method is a way to determine who inherits when someone dies without children and is not survived by their parents or their parents' descendants. It works by looking for the closest living relatives on the deceased person's family tree. First, it looks for grandparents and their children. If none are found, it moves on to great-grandparents and their children, and so on until an heir is found. However, some states have a limited parentelic system that only looks for grandparents and their children. If no heirs are found, the estate goes to the state.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The parentelic method is a way of determining who inherits the estate of a childless person who died without a will and is not survived by parents or their descendants. It involves tracing the family tree through the deceased person's grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on until an eligible heir is found.

Example: If John died without a will and had no children, spouse, or surviving parents, the parentelic method would be used to determine who inherits his estate. First, the search would look for John's grandparents and their descendants. If none are found, the search would continue to great-grandparents and their descendants, and so on until an eligible heir is found.

The Uniform Probate Code uses a limited parentelic system, which means that if no eligible heir is found after searching for grandparents and their descendants, the estate would escheat to the state.
