Determination not to be intestate? (4)
I believe the answer is:
will
'determination' is the definition.
(will can mean determination or desire)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for will that I've seen before include "Intention; legal document" , "Shakespeare < 's intention to leave something" , "Determination; 22 author" , "Fixed intention" , "Record of final wishes and testament" .)
