Walk It Through: No Will

All to the spouse unless a child is not the spouse's, then one-third, and a small asset after 60 days.

A man dies without a will, survived by his wife and a daughter from an earlier 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, the funeral and debt deductions in detail, and real estate in a small estate are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
