In Re the Estate of Han Solo

At LeClairRyan's Estate Conflicts blog, Will Sleeth has a fun feature analyzing [SPOILER ALERT] the estate of Han Solo, per the events in Star Wars: The Force Awakens:

Who would be the beneficiary of the estate of Han Solo?  Star Wars is obviously a fictional universe, and there is no indication in Episode 7 (or any other canon material that I’m aware of) that speaks to whether Han Solo had a will or not. Nevertheless, it’s both fun and educational to analyze the answer, because if the same laws in effect in Virginia were in effect in the Star Wars universe, Han Solo’s death would likely have set off a wave of litigation among numerous characters in a galaxy far, far away.

See "The Fictional Fight Over Han Solo’s Estate" for the rest of the analysis, both under the laws of intestacy and under various will permutations.
