[WSBAPT] intestate succession where surviving spouse dies and only heir disclaims

[Douglas Owens]

Dear list mates, does anyone have an idea how the intestate succession works in this scenario: wife dies intestate, survived by her children, and her husband, stepfather of the children. The estate is all separate property of the wife.  The surviving spouse has his own child, during administration of the estate the surviving spouse also dies and his child disclaims the inheritance from his father.  If there are no other heirs of the husband, does the husband’s one half share revert to the children of the deceased wife?  Or does it escheat?  Thanks for your thoughts.  Yours truly, Doug Owens
