ESTATE DEVOLUTION :-
A deceased person's assets and property are dispersed and transferred to their heirs, beneficiaries, or other legal successors in accordance with the relevant laws, wills, or estate plans. This process is known as estate devolution. This process involves determining how the deceased person's assets, such as real land, money, investments, and personal property, will be distributed to their heirs or beneficiaries. If there is a final will and testament, it may also be guided by that document. Estate devolution seeks to guarantee that assets are distributed in accordance with a deceased person's preferences or any applicable legal requirements.
