legal heirs would be (in the event of intestacy)

Decedent has left a will as follows

'He died intestate' means he did not leave a will, so the law of succession applies.


'Decedent' is the legal term for the deceased (will or no will)

will

I think "bei Fehlen einer Verfügung von Todes wegen" means "in the absence of a will"

disposition mortis causa

Is the translation given in Hueber's Taschenwörterbuch Recht.

I think you need a term that's a bit more general than "will" - yes, it is something which specifies what is to happen in the event of death, but that could include things that don't legally meet the requirements for wills.
