3B:5-2.

a.Any part of the decedent's estate not effectively disposed of by his will passes by intestate succession to the decedent's heirs as prescribed in N.J.S.3B:5-3 through N.J.S.3B:5-14, except as modified by the decedent's will.

b.A decedent by will may expressly exclude or limit the right of an individual or class to succeed to property of the decedent passing by intestate succession.
