What is Postremogeniture?

Postremogeniture is a term used in the context of inheritance law. It refers to a situation where a person dies without leaving any children or descendants, and their assets are distributed according to their will or the laws of intestate succession in the absence of a will.

In other words, postremogeniture means that there is no one left to inherit the deceased person's property, so it passes directly to the next generation (if there is one) or to the state or other entities as determined by the laws of the jurisdiction.

For example, if John dies without any children or grandchildren, and his assets are distributed according to his will, his estate would be considered postremogeniture because there is no one left to inherit his property. The assets would pass directly to the beneficiaries named in his will, or if there is no will, they would pass to the state or other entities as determined by the laws of the jurisdiction.
