Walk It Through: No Will
All to the spouse, half with a minor child, $100,000 plus half otherwise, and a small estate.
A woman dies without a will, leaving her husband and their young daughter, still a minor.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
Two deaths in one family. Wills, registered domestic partners in detail, and the small estate procedure itself are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
