I f a person dies and survives the intestacy, the probate court can establish a trust in their name to receive the estate of the deceased. A person who had a trust created in his or her name at the time of his or her death may use that trust to obtain the right to a certain part of the estate, if there is no will. The probate court must determine the right of this person to a certain part of the estate and to obtain it by intestacy, but it is not necessary to set that right in a specific trust. Only the person dying intestate has the legal responsibility to file a claim for intestate succession or to accept the intestacy. A person may not use a trust to obtain any rights or privileges of an estate other than the right over his or her minor child or adult child's share.
