What is the meaning of testamentary succession under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956?

Testamentary succession is succession under a will, that is, where a person has died "with a will" capable of taking effect. Section 30 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 allows a Hindu to dispose of property, including an interest in Mitakshara coparcenary property, by will. Dying without a will is intestacy.
