The correct answer is : according to the state laws of descent.

Explanation:

This is a law that establishes forth who is entitled to the estate of the deceased person according to the laws of inheritance. It distributes the assets to the heirs of the estate. What it does is to transfer the real property of a decedent who failed to leave a will. It also includes all the interests owned by the deceased at the time the person died.
