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?

Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
In Oregon, your marriage revokes his will unless it was adopted in contemplation of marriage. You then would be entitled to half of his assets. If his will was adopted in contemplation of marriage, the will would be valid, but you would have the right to take a percentage of the value of your and his combined assets (the elective share). The percentage (up to 33%) depends on the length of your marriage.
