Law of Succession
The law provides rules on intestate succession to govern the transfer upon death of all kinds of assets. The law makes no distinction based on whether the estate comprises a single-party dwelling, a multi-party dwelling, a savings account, a portfolio of securities, a company, etc. Nor does the law of succession depend on whether the decedent was on good terms with each of the entitled heirs, or whether they had no contact whatsoever. If a company forms the estate, the law does not ask whether the heirs are in fact capable of running the company in future.
