[WSBARP] Marriage application filed, but no certificate

[AF Gibbs]

Thank you, Kerry. I appreciate the response very much and will read those
cases.

I was thinking along those lines. Wouldn't the CIR yield the "surviving
spouse" as being a *creditor* of the estate? The deceased does have a
pending PI claim (asbestos exposure) consisting of wrongful death claim
(subject to court division, as I understand it) while the survival action
is decedent's separate property.

Thanks again!
