Intestate is to heir as _________ is to _________.
  1. bark : bite
  2. trustor : trustee
  3. testate : testator
  4. testate : beneficiary
Explanation
Answer: D - Intestate is to heir as testate is to beneficiary. Intestate is a term that refers to the estate of a person who died without a will, and an heir is a person entitled to inherit from the intestate estate. Testate is a term that refers to the estate of a person who died with a will, and a beneficiary is a person named in the will to receive a bequest or distribution from the estate. Answer A is incorrect because bark and bite are contrasting terms that have no correlation to intestate and heir. Answer B is not correct because a trustor (also called a settlor) is a person who creates a trust, and the trustee holds the trust property for the benefit of the beneficiary. Answer C is not correct because a testator is a term used for a person who made the will and not a person who will take from the estate.
