Abstract: An estate distribution system is described herein for ascertaining the legal distribution of an individual's intestate property through the use of variables created to define single points of data that are described by the appropriate body of laws as being necessary to the determination of the said legal distribution. The system determines and solicits a reduced quantity of said data through the use of a hierarchical arrangement of the created variables, which hierarchical arrangement is ordered upon the basis of priority each variable has in relation to all remaining variables used by the appropriate body of laws. A report is created and delivered to a user that details the legal distribution of the subject intestate property.
