Explanation
Title by descent (inheritance) transfers real property to heirs when an owner dies. If the owner had a valid will, property passes per the will's terms (testate succession). Without a will, Idaho's intestate succession laws (Title 15, Idaho Code) determine which heirs receive the property. Proper probate or trust administration is required to convey clear title.
