Walk It Through: No Will
The spouse's share by whose descendants survive, the order after that, and summary administration.
A man dies without a will, survived by his wife and their two children, and his wife has a child from before the marriage.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
Two deaths in one family. Wills, homestead rules, and the creditor procedure in a summary administration are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
