What does a testator who dies testate not require?

  1. A will

  2. The laws of intestate succession

  3. Executor

  4. Beneficiaries

The correct answer is: The laws of intestate succession

A testator who dies testate means that they died with a will. Typically, a testator would require a will to properly distribute their assets and state their wishes after death. Additionally, a testator who dies testate would still require an executor to carry out the terms of the will and distribute assets to beneficiaries. Therefore, option A, C, and D are all incorrect as they are essential components for a testator who dies testate. Option B, the laws of intestate succession, would not be required for a testator who dies testate because they have already created a will outlining their wishes for asset distribution. These laws come into play when someone dies without a will, known as dying intestate.
