Effect of Contracts and Other Portions of Title. The separate property of a person who dies without disposing of it by will is succeeded to and must be distributed as hereinafter provided in this Chapter, subject to the limitation of any applicable marriage or other contract, and to the applicable provisions of Chapter 11 and of Division 3 of this Title.
