Walk It Through: The Estate with No Will
A death without a will, a spouse and children, a pickup and a bank account, and an affidavit after 30 days.
A parent dies without a will, survived by a spouse and two children who are also the spouse's.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
Simple estates without a will. Blended families with other children, real property, and debts of the estate are left out.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
