1997 Minnesota Statutes

     524.2-101 Intestate estate. 

    (a) Any part of a decedent's estate not effectively 
 disposed of by will passes by intestate succession to the 
 decedent's heirs as prescribed in this chapter, except as 
 modified by the decedent's will. 

    (b) A decedent by will may expressly exclude or limit the 
 right of an individual or class to succeed to property of the 
 decedent passing by intestate succession.  If that individual or 
 a member of that class survives the decedent, the share of the 
 decedent's intestate estate to which that individual or class 
 would have succeeded passes as if that individual or each member 
 of that class had disclaimed an intestate share.
