It means this is permissible if he has no close or distant heir. In such a case, he may bequeath all of his wealth as he wishes. However, if he has a close or distant heir, it is not permissible for him to bequeath more than one-third of his wealth. If he does bequeath more than one-third, it must then be reduced down to one-third.
