Estate--is husband or daughter more entitled?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the house was left to you ion the will, then you are entitled to the house.  However, you cannot disinherit your spouse.  A married person is entitled to claim an elective, or statutory, share of an estate. The share the surviving spouse can claim is about 1/3.  So, if your mother died leaving you the house, but nothing to her spouse, then her spouse can claim a portion of the estate but not the whole house.  The elective share is something that has to be affirmatively asserted in court, it is not automatic, and if the surviving spouse does not claim it, it is waived.

Executor of will stold the money left by the deceased, what can I do about it?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
i'm sorry this has happened to you.  You can file a complaint in the court of the county in which the will was probated.  Ask to have the executor removed, and claim breach of fiduciary duty.  you may be able to track down the funds that were stolen, or put liens against things that were purchased with the funds.  If the executor was required to post a post, you can file a claim against the bonding company.
