Intestate distribution in Ontario:

Since 1978, Ontario law states that the estate of an intestate deceased person is distributed as follows:

  1. To the spouse, if living, the first $200,000 (effective April 1, 1995);
  2. To the spouse and children, the excess over $200,000 shared according to specific rules;
  3. If no spouse, to the children and descendants of the deceased, if any;
  4. To the parents of the deceased if no spouse or descendants;
  5. If no surviving parents, to brothers and sisters, and children of the deceased brothers and sisters;
  6. If no brothers and sisters, then to living nieces and nephews;
  7. When more remote relatives are involved, special instructions may apply.

NOTE: Half-blood relatives share equally with whole-blood relatives. Children include those born outside marriage and adopted ones.

In the state of NC if you were married 20 years and had 4 children and you get a divorce and remarry and your ex also remarries are you eligible for widow's pension at age 60 if he dies?

In general, no. If he contributed to a retirement program while you were married and the divorce decree stated that you have an interest in the account you MAY be entitled to some of the money, but if the judge did not SPECIFICALLY state that you are entitled to the money you are not entitled to any of his money after the divorce. Any of his children who are under 18 may be entitled to survivors benefits. No. When a person remarries they forfeit all legal rights to any share of the previous spouse's SSA, RRB and/or private pension benefits, annutities and so forth. Likewise do any children who have been adopted by a new spouse, as the law considers them to be "removed from the bloodline" and survivior succession laws no longer apply.
