Parentelic System

Read a random definition: legal pneumoconiosis

A quick definition of Parentelic System:

The parentelic system is a way to figure out who gets someone's things when they die without a will. First, the spouse, kids, and parents get the stuff. If there's still stuff left, it goes to the brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. If there's still stuff left, the parentelic system looks at the family tree to find more relatives who might get the stuff.

A more thorough explanation:

The parentelic system is a way that some states use to decide who will inherit the property of a person who has died without a will. First, the assets go to the spouse, children, and parents of the deceased person. If there are no surviving spouse, children, or parents, then the system looks for other relatives.

For example, if someone dies without a will and has no spouse, children, or parents, the parentelic system will look for siblings, nieces, and nephews. If there are no siblings, nieces, or nephews, then the system will look for cousins, aunts, and uncles.

The parentelic system is used to make sure that the property of a person who has died without a will goes to their closest living relatives. This system is used in some states to make sure that the property is distributed fairly.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
My parents are weirdly completely opposed to me getting work experience, they believe the moment that paycheck touches my bank account I will give up my studies lol
It's kinda stupid but what can you do
i'd do my own thing but that's just me
Are you first gen?
First gen law but my dad has a masters, not in the US though
Idk where I was going with that question, but parents are weird lol. I'm sure they want what's best for you, but it's ultimately your life and you have to deal with the consequences of your own choices
I'm sure they'd get over it if you decided to take another year, too
At the same time, better bird in hand that 100 birds flying
Roughly translated lol
And maybe I can transfer and being debt free is a blessing, especially now that America is being made great again by causing the second great depression
I'm really tired of winning Mr. President
I'm gonna try to transfer lol, even though I have a near fullride right now
Or maybe you'll fall in love with Miami!
FSU is Tallahassee, I meant working in Miami eventually since it's the big city of Florida
It's not too bad of an idea, and doesn't seem like a bad lifepath
Ahhh yeah okay I'd personally hate Tallahassee BUT I stand by what I've said lol

The consensus is not to expect a scholly, but they are possible circumstances dependent. For reference, I encourage you to check this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/LawSchoolTransfer/search/?q=scholarship&cId=a09e81d4-20c7-4f14-bb49-b638a2ffa5fc&iId=ee1f716a-b5ab-4271-919e-4fc7093cd1dd and do some research NOW if you are planning on transferring. YMMV
