Walk It Through: No Will
The first twenty thousand dollars plus half, half with another's child, and an affidavit after thirty days.
A man dies without a will, survived by his wife and their two children.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
Two deaths in one family. Wills, the bond in detail, and the notice to creditors are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
