Question

When you die intestate you have given the court or state the privilege of determining burial arrangements beneficiary needs divisions of estate to charities guardians of dependents?

Answer 1

When you die "inestate" (aka without a will) state laws will determine how your assets are divided and who they go to. Most arrangement like funeral/burial, etc are handled by family or next-of-kin and state laws will again determine certain arrangements when the deceased person's wishes were not recorded through a will.
