N.D. Cent. Code § 30.1-04-01
30.1-04-01. (2-101) Intestate estate
30.1-04-01. (2-101) Intestate estate
1. 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 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 the intestate share.
