No, intestate property cannot be given to one heir because when a person dies intestate, or without leaving a will, his property is distributed according to the laws of intestacy in the state where he lived. The distribution can only be made by a court appointed Adminstrator. When there is no will, a decedent's property is owned automatically by all the heirs equally. The Administrator has no authority nor power to redistribute the property except by state laws of intestate distribution.
