My deceased brother's ex-wife is trying to get 100K from his estate for the benefit of their minor child. Does the estate have to pay?
In most jurisdictions in the United States a minor child is entitled by law to a portion of their biological parent's estate. That portion is generally what the child would receive under the state laws of intestacy. In this case the child's mother can file a claim against the estate on behalf of that child. She can't name a specific amount because the amount the child is entitled to is set by law and the court will determine the amount. Even if your brother made a will, the child's claim supersedes the will. It would be unwise to ignore the child's claim. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.
