If there are no wills involved, that is the way it typically works. However, there are often clauses in wills that can affect this.
# Based on if they are a married couple:If both have wills............Both wills are valid if they each have one. The first person to dies will is followed then the other persons.If only one of them has a will..............If the one with the will dies first, that will is followed and then state law is followed after the second person dies. If the person without the will dies first, generally all their assets go to their spouse. Then when the second one dies the will is followed.Not married couple:If each one has a will, then the wills are followed separately with the will of the first decedent taking precedence, which is important because they may have left assets to the one that died second.If one does not have a will, state law is used for that person and the will for the other.
Only individuals have wills. Married couples do not make joint wills. If the father dies, leaving a wife and some children, his will is probated. The wife/mother's will remains in her custody.
Probably the one that was married to the spouse first
100% everyone dies.
If they have no spouse and no issue. Otherwise the spouse has first rights to the estate.
Yes Watson. But the real question is: can the spouse spouse the home after the reverse mortgage dies live?
A current spouse would have first claim.
Spouse and children are going to be first in line. Then parents and then siblings.
If child dies, does his spouse have any legal claim with in-laws home?
If there is no will, the law normally splits the estate between the spouse and the natural children.
yes
