Maine Intestacy Calculator TM
See the Maine 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 Maine's intestacy laws. (Title 18-A: Probate Code, Article II: Intestate Succession and Wills) 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 first cousins once-removed are entitled to a portion of the estate or when the estate escheats.)
