Make sure you have a will and take care of the kids. But if you are legally married, there are specific rules to insure that she is not left destitute. Consult an estate planning attorney in your state to learn what the details are.

Depends on the country and legal system. For example in the UK or USA (subject to state laws) there are no restrictions on who a person can bequeath their inheritance to - it does not have to go to the partner or spouse. In the case of a business partner this issue would normally be covered in the original company documents so make precedence over and personal will. In Islamic countries Sharia Law is applied, here again unless specifically directed in the terms of a contract the inheritance (of a male) is normally passed to the oldest male heir, failing that a surviving brother. Inheritance from a female is passed to her husband.

What to do when you are New Jersey Surviving spouse and there is a joint bank account?

If you are the surviving spouse, you are considered what is called a "Class A" beneficiary, meaning there is no inheritance tax on the property you inherit or take by right of survivorship. This means that the bank does not have to hold on to half the date of death balance until all inheritance taxes are paid. To get that account released you need to get a certified copy of the death certificate and go to the bank. The bank will have copies of NJ Inheritance Tax Form L-8 for you to sign. This is an affidavit that states, among other things, that you are the surviving spouse, a Class A beneficiary and the surviving party to the account. The bank will release the money to you or create a new account with just your name on it as you prefer.
