I believe the answer is:
intestate
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">leaving no will</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for intestate that I've seen before include "Unwilling" , "Passing on without leaving a will" , "Not having planned to leave" , "Lacking a will" , "not prepared to leave" .)
