Hello all,
I am translating a lawyer's letter dealing with his client's questions concerning inheritance.
Not at all sure how to translate this particular part of a lengthy sentence:
"Nell'Ordinamento giuridico italiano se il coniuge superstite ** subentra in successione legittima** (senza testamento) e concorreno due figli, ad esso è riservato, ex art.542 Codice civile, 1/3 del patrimonio del de cuis (soggetto deceduto)."
UK English please.
Many thanks for any suggestions!

inherits under the rules on intestacy
if you consider the term "successione legittima" it makes a lot more sense.
This describes a situation in which the person died intestate.
