§560:2-101  Intestate estate.  (a)  Any
part of a decedent's estate not effectively disposed of by will passes by
intestate succession to the decedent's heirs as prescribed in this chapter,
except as modified by the decedent's will.



(b)  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 the intestate share. [L
