is named as the beneficiary in the Will, which is really different. As you pointed out, since decedent didn’t update the Will, the omitted spouse statute would apply. As would the family support award statute. So wife is almost certainly going to get something.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi: Well facts are that 2001 Will gives daughter real property. H marries in 2003 and never redid will so Widow is omitted spouse and can get up to 1/2 of the separate property. So even if Daughter prevailed, widow
still gets "up to half" plus maybe up to $125k for spousal award, right? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In any event, Deed was a limited license from prepared by escrow who did refinance. The wording has the operative language "to create community property" but I do not think it is controlling as there is no evidence
that the decedent was advised by an attorney as to what that deed legally would do. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
