parliamentary will

Slang. The legislation that governs the distribution of an intestate’s property.

• The term arose because the legislature effectively makes an intestate’s will by passing statutes regulating descent and distribution. The terms of the parliamentary will are gathered from the statutes in effect when the intestate died.
