undevised
Without prior arrangement
Undevised means not planned, contrived, or invented—arising naturally or spontaneously rather than through deliberate design: an undevised solution that emerged from the discussion.
In legal contexts, undevised property is real estate not disposed of by will, passing instead through intestate succession.
