The statute is pretty clear what the spouse is entitled to. Essentially, by referring us back to 11. 04.015, even if nothing was community property, she is still entitled to half of the separate estate, and the son the other half.<br>

Subject: [WSBAPT] CP rights of second marriage<br>
<br>
Client writes a will six years ago giving everything to son. A year later client gets married but does not update his will. Marriage is now five years and client dies. Client discusses with me and intent to redo his will to benefit his new wife but does not do so. What community property rights does spouse have over any or all of the property?<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br>
