distributive share
The share in the personal estate of an intestate, after the payment of his debts and claims against the estate, to which a distributee or heir is entitled. 22 Am J2d Desc & D § 22. The term has also been applied with less precision to the share of a legatee, sometimes to a share in the real estate left by an intestate, even to the share of a devisee. 31 Am J2d Ex & Ad § 550. Strictly speaking, a distributee is not entitled to a share of the specific rights and credits, goods, and chattels of the decedent in the hands of his personal representative, but only to a share in the fund produced by administering them. Wright v Holmes, 100 Me 508, 62 A 507.
