What are Colorado laws on surviving spouse and property?
In Colorado, a surviving spouse is entitled to an "elective share" of the deceased spouse's estate, which is typically one-third of the estate. If the deceased spouse's will does not provide for the surviving spouse, they can choose to receive the elective share instead. Colorado also has laws that protect a surviving spouse's rights to the marital home and certain personal property.
If you owned your property prior to marriage will your ex be entitled to any part of it after a 6 month marriage?

In Texas does wife get all if husband die?
The answer is somewhat complicated.Community PropertyAll property acquired during a marriage is presumed to be community property. Under Texas laws, if you are married and are survived by a spouse and children, then:Your surviving spouse will inherit all your community property if all your children are also the children of your surviving spouse;Otherwise, all your one-half interest in the community estate will pass to your children, with your spouse keeping only his or her one-half interest.If you do not have any children, then your surviving spouse will inherit all of your community property.Separate PropertyIf your property is characterized as separate property, the distribution scheme is different:If you are survived a spouse and children, your surviving spouse is entitled to one third of your separate personal property and only a life estate (the right to use the property until his or her death) in one-third of your separate real property. The rest would be inherited outright by the children of the deceased spouse.If you are married but have no children or other descendants, your surviving spouse would be entitled to all the separate personal property. But if you have surviving parents and siblings, the surviving spouse would only be entitled to one-half of the separate real property with the other half passing to the parents, siblings or descendants of siblings in a manner set forth by the statutes.https://texaswillsandtrustslaw.com/2010/10/18/dying-without-a-will-the-texas-intestacy-statutes/
