  • Law of Estates (common law)
CONT

Even if a person has made out a Will, it is possible to die partially intestate. A common example occurs when a person makes several specific bequests but forgets to dispose of some of his property. Normally, the Will would have a "residue clause" to cope with this situation. ... Where there is no residue clause, anything which is not specifically given away has not been disposed of. The effect of this is that the testator has died partially intestate.
