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

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Not unless she had moved out more than a year prior to his death. If it was for more than a year, you have an argument under Michigan law. Otherwise, they would have had to have been legally divorced in order for her not to receive her share of the estate. There are ways that your father could have disinherited his wife. By failing to set up his estate plan, it sounds like his intent is only going to be partially honored.

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

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
No. She has rights under State law as the surviving spouse. In Nevada if the assets were all acquired during marriage she is entitled to 50% even if he left a Will leaving her nothing.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
My practice is to leave each child 100 dollars, which shows that you thought about them when planning your estate. Or you could mention each one and specifically disinherit each child. You have to be very specific as to your intentions.
