Final answer:

In a tenancy-in-common situation, when a cousin dies without a will, their interest in the property passes to the deceased cousin's heirs.


Explanation:

When one of the cousins in a tenancy-in-common arrangement dies without a will, their interest in the property will pass to the deceased cousin's heirs. In this scenario, the share of the deceased cousin would not automatically go to the surviving cousins or the state, but rather to their rightful heirs as determined by state intestacy laws.
