2007 Minnesota Statutes

524.2-101 INTESTATE ESTATE.
(a) The intestate estate of the decedent consists of any part of the decedent's estate not
allowed to the decedent's spouse or descendants under sections 524.2-402, 524.2-403, and
524.2-404, and not disposed of by will. The intestate estate 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.
