Dear Claudia, thank you for this question. I think he did but you sparked my interest in RCW 11.04.095 which I think lends an argument that the stepchildren of the second parent to die inherit from him in order to avoid escheat. The statute speaks of the
first spouse to die having a will conveying all of the estate to the surviving spouse but it seems to me the principle is the same. Yours truly, Doug Owens<br class="">

<div class="">Doug, just a question off the top of my head - did the husband meet the survivorship provision of Title 11? I'm sorry I can't remember the cite.</div>

<div class="">Subject: [WSBAPT] intestate succession where surviving spouse dies and only heir disclaims</div>

<div class="PlainText">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<br class="">
