HEIR
A person entitled under state laws of intestacy to property of a decedent who did not have a will. At common law, this term was restricted to lawfully born children who could inherit land from an ancestor; under statutes, it includes all those who have the right to inherit from a deceased person if there is no will specifying how it's divided.
