If my husband dies and the will he made before we met leaves his estate to his daughter am I entitled to anything we acquired?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You are entitled to one half of the after marriage acquired community property, one half of the quasi community property, and one half of the separate property of deceased, the total not being received greater than one half of the separate property of the deceased, assuming no pre marriage agreement was entered into, dividing the property differently between the two of you. If you purchased the house after marriage and is in joint tenancy title, then upon his death you will survive to his interest and be the sole owner.
