Question

My husbands mother died about 20 years ago. My husband died 6 months ago and his mother's estate is now in probate. Am I entitled to my husbands share?

Answer

First of all, please accept my sympathies for the loss of your husband. I do not understand why the probate estate of your husband's Mother was delayed for twenty years.Perhaps there was a Trust involved, or perhaps you have a misunderstanding or miscommunication. Please try to clarify and we imgiht be able to give you a better answer to your question. Or, if you would prefer, you might want to consult with an attorney in your area.
