Maryland Intestacy Calculator TM
See the Maryland intestate succession statutes interpreted. This is the only program that calculates the next of kin and the dollar amount given to each intestate heir according to Maryland's intestacy laws. (Maryland Code: Estate and Trusts, Title 3. Intestate Succession and Statutory Shares) You can also read selected portions of the state intestate laws or open the state government sponsored legal site HERE.
Enter an intestate estate value and answer the marital status question. Continue answering questions until the answer is automatically shown. (Keep trying until you learn when step-children are entitled to a portion of the estate or when the estate escheats.)
