[WSBAPT] Omitted Spouse and Living Trust

[Brink, Kerry]

Wow.  That’s a bad deal.  Assets are all in the trust?

I don't believe a spouse would inherit.  The trust is not a probate asset.  Omitted suppose receives intestate share (of probate assets).  If community assets were in trust, then s/he might have a claim against the trust, but otherwise not.

Listmates,

H&W enter into Revocable Living Trust and Pour Over Will.  W dies and H eventually remarries.  He does not change his estate plan.  H dies and new W is an Omitted Spouse.  Does the Omitted Spouse statute allow an omitted spouse to claim an interest in the trust assets?

Sincerely,

Michael P. Jacobs
