<DIV><FONT size=4>In this case the bachelor decedent didn’t “inherit” from his
mom and dad, but instead the $90,000 house was gifted to him by his mom and dad
while both were living. And I see Sara advised that the house, if
<EM>given</EM> or inherited, is traced and because the bachelor received the
residence from both the mother of the half sister and from the dad of the full
brother, then the both the half sister and the brother gets 1/2 of the proceeds
of the house. There is about $300,000 to $500,000 of classic restored
cars, which we won’t be able to trace, but I assume the decedent acquired those
while living. Having not received any of the cars by gift or inheritance,
then I take it the brother and the half sister would inherit those funds
equally?</FONT></DIV>

have had some fun with this statute lately. What it means is, if any of
the decedent’s estate assets were inherited or received by gift from the parent
who is not also a parent of the person who is “kindred of the half blood” then
that person does not inherit those assets.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri",sans-serif; COLOR: #1f497d'>For
example, if a person inherits a house from one parent and then dies without a
will, only the decedent’s kin who are also descended from that parent will be
heirs to that house. Kin descended from the decedent’s other parent would
inherit equally other portions of decedent’s estate, so it is important to trace
assets and see if any are inherited or gifted from just one
parent.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
