unbequeathed
Never formally given
Unbequeathed describes property, possessions, or assets that have not been left to anyone through a will or testament.
When someone dies without specifying who should inherit certain items, those items remain unbequeathed and typically pass according to laws of intestate succession rather than the deceased's explicit wishes.
The unbequeathed portion of the estate was divided equally among the surviving children.
