The law of estate administration is the body of law that controls the distribution of the estate of a person who dies without a will. Every state has its own code. Some countries have a national code. If you need more particular information you would need to search for your jurisdiction. For example by performing an internet search using your state and adding 'probate code'. The probate codes are much too broad to provide here.
