Explain the difference between testate and intestate.
What will be an ideal response?
Testate means with a valid will. This refers to the process of a decedent having died with a will that is found to be legally binding. A decedent that has a will which is found to be invalid has died intestate, just as a decedent who died without a will altogether will have died intestate, or without a will.
