 As used in this subchapter:   (1)  (A) “Descendants” means a person's children, grandchildren, and all others, however remotely related to such a person, who are in a direct line of descent from him or her. In other words, the term “descendants” refers to lineal descendants and excludes an intestate's ascendants or collateral relatives.  (B) The term “descendants”, wherever used in this subchapter, shall also include adopted children and their descendants of the intestate or of any other person in connection with whom the term “descendants” may be used.  (C) In determining which of an intestate's descendants shall constitute an inheriting class, the descendants of a living descendant shall be excluded from the class; and    (2) “Dying intestate” means dying without a valid last will and testament. A person so dying is referred to in this subchapter as an “intestate”, and it is recognized that a person may die wholly or partially intestate.

 (a) Any part of the estate of a decedent not effectively disposed of by his or her will shall pass to his or her heirs as prescribed in the following sections.  (b) In this connection, the terms “heir” and “heirs”, as used in this subchapter, are intended to designate the person or persons who succeed by inheritance to the ownership of real or personal property in respect to which a person dies intestate.  (c)  (1) Real estate passes immediately to the heirs upon the death of the intestate, subject to the right of the personal representative under the Probate Code to mortgage, lease, exchange, sell, or possess it for the payment of claims or legacies, the preservation or protection of the assets of the estate, the distribution of the estate, or any other purpose in the best interest of the estate.  (2) However, personalty will pass to the personal representative, if any, for distribution to the heirs unless otherwise disposed of as permitted by the Probate Code.
AR Code § 28-9-204 (2020)
2020 Arkansas Code|Title 28 - Wills, Estates, and Fiduciary Relationships|Subtitle 2 - Descent And Distribution|Chapter 9 - Intestate Succession|Subchapter 2 - Arkansas Inheritance Code of 1969|§ 28-9-204. Per capita distribution

 Heirs will take per capita in the following circumstances:   (1)  (A) If all members of the class who inherit real or personal property from an intestate are related to the intestate in equal degree, they will inherit the intestate's estate in equal shares and will be said to take per capita.  (B) For illustration:  (i) If the intestate leaves no heirs except children, the children will take per capita and in equal shares;  (ii) If the intestate leaves no heirs except grandchildren, all the grandchildren will take per capita and in equal shares; and  (iii) If the inheriting class consists solely of great-grandchildren, or any more remote descendants of the intestate who are all related to the intestate in the same degree, they will take per capita.    (C) The same rule applies to the inheritance by collateral heirs of the intestate as when, for illustration, the inheriting class consists entirely of brothers and sisters, or consists solely of nieces and nephews who are descendants of deceased brothers and sisters, or consists of any other collateral relatives of the intestate who are related to the intestate in equal degree.  (D) Likewise, when the inheriting class consists of uncles, aunts, and grandparents or great-uncles, great-aunts, and great-grandparents who, under § 28-9-214, may constitute an inheriting class even though they represent different generations, all members of such a class who survive the intestate will take per capita and share equally; and    (2) If the members of the inheriting class are related to the intestate in unequal degree, those in the nearer degree will take per capita or in their own right, and those in the more remote degree will take per stirpes or through representation as provided in § 28-9-205.
AR Code § 28-9-205 (2020)
2020 Arkansas Code|Title 28 - Wills, Estates, and Fiduciary Relationships|Subtitle 2 - Descent And Distribution|Chapter 9 - Intestate Succession|Subchapter 2 - Arkansas Inheritance Code of 1969|§ 28-9-205. Per stirpes distribution

 (a)  (1) Heirs will take “per stirpes” if the intestate is predeceased by one (1) or more persons who would have been entitled to inherit from the intestate had such a person survived the intestate.  (2) The intestate's estate shall be divided into as many equal shares as there are:  (A) Surviving heirs in the nearest degree of kinship to the intestate; and  (B) Persons, hereinafter called “predeceased persons”, in the same degree of kinship as the heirs mentioned in subdivision (a)(2)(A) of this section, who predeceased the intestate leaving descendants who survived the intestate.    (3) Each surviving heir in the nearest degree taking per capita shall receive one (1) share and the descendants of each predeceased person taking per stirpes shall collectively receive one (1) share.    (b)  (1) If the descendants of a predeceased person are all related to the predeceased person in the same degree, they will take in equal parts the share accruing to them collectively.  (2) However, if such descendants are related to the predeceased person in unequal degree, the share accruing to them collectively shall pass per capita to those in the nearer degree and per stirpes to those in the more remote degree according to the formula set out in subdivision (a)(3) of this section.  (3) If the descendants of a predeceased person are found in multiple generations, the above formula for division shall be applied in respect to the descendants in each generation.    (c)  (1) The provisions of this section shall be applied to both real and personal property and to both lineal and collateral heirs.  (2) However, if under § 28-9-214, the inheriting class consists of grandparents and uncles and aunts, or of great-grandparents and great-uncles and great-aunts, the per stirpes rule shall apply when an uncle or aunt, or great-uncle or great-aunt, as the case may be, shall predecease the intestate, leaving descendants. However, it shall not be applied in respect to a grandparent or great-grandparent of the intestate who predeceased the intestate. In this event the grandparent or great-grandparent shall not be counted in determining the number of shares passing to the members of the inheriting class or those taking through them by representation.

 (a) Heirs may inherit every right, title, and interest not terminated by the intestate's death in real or personal property owned by an intestate at the time of the intestate's death and not disposed of by will.  (b) The rights of heirs will be subject to:  (1) The dower or curtesy of the intestate's surviving spouse;  (2) The homestead rights of the surviving spouse and children of the intestate, including the quarantine rights of the surviving spouse;  (3) All statutory rights and allowances to the surviving spouse and minor children;  (4) Any rights of a surviving spouse in respect to income tax refunds made pursuant to a joint federal income tax return; and  (5) An administration of the estate, if any.    (c) The portion of the intestate's estate which may pass by inheritance, after giving effect to subsection (b) of this section and to any partial testamentary disposition, is hereinafter sometimes called the “heritable estate” of the intestate.  (d) In this connection it is declared that subject to the conditions set out above, the intestate's entire right and title in respect to any and all reversionary and remainder interests, rights of reentry or forfeiture for condition broken, executory interests, and possibilities of reverter, whether any of such interests are vested or contingent, shall be transmissible by inheritance and will pass to the intestate's heirs determined as of the time of the intestate's death.  (e) An intestate may transmit his or her title to real or personal property by inheritance even though:  (1) The intestate is not in actual or constructive possession thereof; and  (2) There may be adverse possession thereof.

 When real or personal property is transmitted by inheritance to two (2) or more persons, they will take the same as tenants in common. However, when personal property is distributed in separate units by a personal representative, each distributee will hold his or her distributed part in severalty.

 (a) Posthumous descendants of the intestate conceived before his or her death but born thereafter shall inherit in the same manner as if born in the lifetime of the intestate.  (b) However, no right of inheritance shall accrue to any person other than a lineal descendant of the intestate, unless such a person has been born at the time of the intestate's death.

 (a) No person is disqualified to inherit, or transmit by inheritance, real or personal property because he or she is or has been an alien.  (b) An alien may inherit, or transmit by inheritance, as freely as a citizen of this state, subject to the same laws of intestate succession which are applicable to citizens of this state.  (c) The term “alien” as used in this section refers to a person who is not a citizen of the United States.

 (a)  (1) In computing the degrees of relationship between any two (2) kinsmen who are not related in a direct line of ascent or descent, it is proper to start with the common ancestor of the kinsmen and count downwards. In whatever degree the kinsmen or the more remote of them is distant from the common ancestor, that is the degree in which they are related to each other.  (2) Thus two (2) or more children of a common parent are related to each other in the first degree, because from the common parent to each of the children is counted only one (1) degree.  (3) But a person and his or her nephew are related in the second degree, for the nephew is two (2) degrees removed from his grandparent who is the common ancestor.  (4) A person and his or her second cousin are related in the third degree, for they are both three (3) degrees removed from the great-grandparent who is their common ancestor.    (b) In computing the degrees of relationship between any two (2) kinsmen related in a direct line of ascent or descent, the degree of relationship shall be determined by starting with one (1) of the persons and counting up or down to the other. Thus, a person and his or her:  (1) Parent or child are related in the first degree;  (2) Grandparent or grandchild are related in the second degree; and  (3) Great-grandparent or great-grandchild are related in the third degree.

 If an heir to the heritable estate, or some portion thereof, cannot be found under § 28-9-214, then the portion of the heritable estate as does not pass under § 28-9-214 will pass as follows:   (1) First, to the surviving spouse of the intestate even though they had been married less than three (3) years;  (2)  (A) Second, if there is no such surviving spouse, to the heirs, determined as of the date of the intestate's death in accordance with § 28-9-214, of the intestate's deceased spouse, meaning the spouse to whom the intestate was last married if there had been more than one (1) marriage.  (B) However, in case a marriage was terminated by divorce rather than by death, the heirs of the divorced spouse shall not inherit; and    (3) Third, if there is no person capable of inheriting under subdivision (1) or (2) of this section, the estate shall escheat to the county wherein the decedent resided at death.
