75-2-101. Intestate succession.
(1) Any part of a decedent's estate not effectively disposed of by will passes by intestate
succession to the decedent's heirs as provided in this title, except as modified by the decedent's
will.
(2) A decedent by will may expressly exclude or limit the right of an individual or class
to succeed to property of the decedent passing by intestate succession. If that individual or a
member of that class survives the decedent, the share of the decedent's intestate estate to which
that individual or class would have succeeded passes as if that individual or each member of that
class had disclaimed his intestate share.
