So why isn't there a state role when someone leaves no living will? Why can't the state intervene against Michael Shiavo, since she left no instructions?

Greer's court IS the probate court.
Also, intestacy laws only apply to the dead.

Why can't the state intervene against Michael Shiavo, since she left no instructions? Because according to Flordia law, if the patient is unable to manage their care themselves then their next of kin is designated their proxy for medical decisions. In every state the spouse is assumed to be next of kin.

A 'living will' is nothing to do with probate, intestacy, or a regular will.

When someone dies intestate with a spouse and no children, generally the spouse will get everything.
