If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald E Stutes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Stutes Law Group LLC
Her claim may in fact be for her one-half of the community property. In Louisiana, each spouse owns one-half of the property acquired during the marriage through the efforts of either spouse. (Gifts and property owned by the marriage are not included.) Since she would be the owner of that one-half, it is not considered part of your father's estate. As far as your father's property is concerned, the will would control, to the extent it is not in conflict with state law.

How much of her husband's estate and assets is a wife legally due when she dies?

Robert Neil Newton
Answered by attorney Robert Neil Newton (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert Newton, P.C.
The signer of a will can only bequeath property that is owned by her at the time of death. They cannot transfer property of another. With that being said, there could be some contractual situations that arise, but that does not appear to be what you are describing.
