Can a husband disinherit his wife or leave her little in his will or does she get some part of his property after his death?
Generally, in the United States, a person cannot disinherit their spouse which would be the case if a man left all his property to his blood relatives and left nothing to his wife. In most states the spouse has the statutory right to 'elect' to take an intestate share of the estate. To do so, the surviving spouse need only file a claim with the court. You can check your state laws of intestacy at the link below. The surviving spouse should contact an attorney immediately to determine their right of election under state laws.
Can wife keep your work computer after divorce?
It depends on who owns it and what the judge says. If it is the employer's property, then the wife cannot claim it, since it doesn't belong to either former spouse. Now, if it belongs to the husband, then it is mostly up to the judge, though it seems he should have the data off of it at least.
