[WSBAPT] Old Will , New Spouse

[Jane Bitz]

And don’t overlook the Spousal Support Award in 11.54. She can get her intestate share and an award of spousal support. And if there is any community property she is entitled to administer it.

There is an omitted spouse statute in rcw 11 that addresses this very situation.

Spouse thought there was no will but children find an Old Will which was done before marriage and so it does not include new spouse.  So does new spouse take intestate share? Thanks  Mike
