The terms Testate succession and Interstate succession have to do with probate. Probate is the process by which a court validates the will of a deceased individual. Probate also involves all other matters in regard to the settlement of estate of deceased person. Testate secession is when a person dies leaving a will and obligates the executor named in the will to dispose of the decedent's property. Intestate succession is when a person dies without leaving a will and an administrator is appointed by the court to dispose of the decedent's property and the state determines how the assets will be conveyed.
