Does the spouse have to buy out the heirs of the decease to get the estate?
Whether a spouse must buy out the heirs of a deceased partner to inherit the estate depends on the laws of the jurisdiction and the specifics of the deceased's will or estate plan. In many cases, a surviving spouse has a legal right to a portion of the estate, which may include community property or elective share rights. However, if there are specific bequests to heirs or if the estate is contested, the situation may be more complex.
